In your opinion, is it worth watching Supernatural if you missed the superwholock craze and your only exposure has been meta posts
my darling anon, i’m a supernatural fan, i’m going to say yes. BUT. with caveats. one; depends on the meta you’ve been exposed to, because if you’ve been told by tumblr gifs it’ll be an epic love story between that dude and his angel, i’m so sorry to disappoint you but that’s not what the show is about. but if the meta you’ve gotten is about the actual themes of the show, go right ahead.
(to be clear, like, there’s still stuff to dig into for destiel. i just wouldn’t want you to go in expecting a romcom in a horror story.)
CAVEAT TWO: you gotta understand that supernatural is really like 5 or 6 shows in a trenchcoat building on top of one another. like s1-3 are pretty solidly their own show, cut down early by the writer’s strike and even delineated nicely by being filmed on. film. rather than digitally. s4-5 are their own thing. s1-5 are their own complete arc, and honestly, you can just watch that and have a pretty good time with some genuinely fantastically put together television. and then after that s6 is kinda its own thing, 7-8 too, 9-11, and then 12-15 i just lump together as Bad but im sure someone else would actually classify them by arc or whatever.
okay god we’re putting a cut now im not gonna shut up im sorry
i think more people should watch s1-5 of supernatural. it’s silly, it’s scary, it’s full of fucked up shit and things that will mess you up for life (affectionate). and then i say watch the rest until you don’t enjoy it and then drop it. don’t feel obligated to watch all 15 cause it loses the plot Fast and it also. gets bad. like if you want my rec, i say stick it out till s11 and then if you can stand it, s12 for [SPOILER] coming back to life. but i would never in my life tell anyone to watch s13-15 unless they had literally nothing left to do and a gun to their head. i watched it but im not a good role model.
uhhh what else should you know. oh, yeah, there’s a lot of references to non-con/rape in it, some of them the show takes seriously and some it’ll play for laughs with some 2010s era misogyny. there’s also a lot of moments that, depending on how charitable you feel like being, are either poorly thought out or straight out racist or homophobic. the show does very little to address its misogyny, homophobia, or racism until it gets put down like a dog behind a shed. i’m telling you this to prepare you for it, because i think engaging with the show is still worth something, especially if you take the time to entangle those elements and examine how the writers have used them to justify a world in which two white guys roll into town, kill a scary monster with extrajudicial justice to save the suburban families, and leave.
and then, of course, if u watch it you can also come yell at me about it :3
uhm. but seriously. supernatural is a complicated show. but it’s worth watching. there’s a lot of good in there with the bad. the way it approaches angels and heaven in the early seasons especially is so fucking fascinating, so if you like religious stuff at all, i’d say go in for it. the acting can be. well. the main guys range from ‘holy shit this is stressing me out to watch it’s so good’ to ‘okay’ to ‘jesus fucking christ please get the camera off of him.’ (and if you watch the show, i’ll let you guess which is which lmao.) but a lot of the people who come in to play side characters kill it in their roles. shout out to jdm. there for like 3 episodes purely to fuck me up forever. lifechanging performance, i’m so serious.
tldr: supernatural is genuinely a good show, for a while, and when it ain’t, it’s still fun, and when it stops being that, just put the show down. just keep your expectations in check regarding what the show is telling you it’s about and don’t expect it to be more. (like. feel free to fantasize about what if it Was more, i sure do, but don’t let that cloud your vision on what the show, as it stands, really is about and is trying to say.) and be prepared for the messy shit it’ll hit you with along the way.
and the fandom is pretty neat too, so long as you use the block button liberally <3

castle 7x1 driven
the finding castle episode liveblog
previously yeah yeah I watched the last ep a week ago it's fine
Oh no he dead
Bros hold her back
yeah hot af.
(surprised alexis & martha aren't doing the same)
Noooo they are muddying Yet Another wedding dress!!!!
Dun dun dun he ain't there!
Esposito helping becks up the hill <3
(wow ryan hair)
I wonder if they filmed parts of this the previous season before hiatus
He's right, change, but it would be Cool to see becks doing Cop Stuff in her wedding dress. Just like. Tie it up lol.
what was that little skip there in ryan's run?
uh Tell Him why
mum noticed the red tail light stuff.
Oh no pieces.
Dragged him away
Love rysposito half fancy. Reminds me of 4x1 look
See? turned on remotely! Things u can do! But castle's never could be, after that debacle w/ bracken & beckett? no way.
Fruit stands my beloved.
See? how WOULD you remember that? unless it went TWICE!
Love how they have those windbreakers.
"Not far the way I’m going to drive."
Why is my man running away if he's a normal guy?
good frame rate
*checking the gps on his phone* love it
oh NO it's getting CRUSHED lmao I loVE it!
early title card
Ooh car maze!!! I love it!
she just TACKLES him!
Love rysposito holding her off.
love the chains.
becks uh beckett my dude chill CHILL
AFTER THAT THERE'S NINE MORE!?!?
Looks like it is the same day still. Beckett changed at the wedding but she is wearing the same clothes now at the precinct & rysposito have changed too now
esposito looks so Happy!
(nice pic they are using for castle lol)
JE: So you can do what to him? (off her look) I was watching. Getting booted of the force is not going to help anything.
It's just like s4 finale/s5 premier
conveiniently lousy
Gates my beloved <3 (but she should be booted off the case) Oh wait nvm. unless you give me cause to.
sus fbi moments
friends & family & also just regular employees
In the event hhh
connors is right that IS sus.
it MIGHT have smth to do w her.
It's like that sammy keyes final book!
communication!!!
Alexis looks so unwell jhfsjksdlfj
MR: Your father will be home before you know it.
Me: How long is the show's hiatus?
Who's bringing the coffee? Becks it's obv not going to be castle
Esposito. He really loves her.
(someone had to bring her coffee. idk if I'll liveblog the audio commentary)
*knowing bracken himself is not behind this, esp not this early on*
3xk, mickey barbozza was the most recent one,,,
Esposito's scar is so Something
*knowing it isn't exactly castle's dad*
Vinny the scar!
Yeah he accused him of murder!
"What can I do to help?"
I love vinny
"this I did not know"
love the grey area love vinny love this stuff. Wait is it vinny or vinnie?
Already in the morning?
Panini <3
"that does not happen" I love the scar
*is castle* (that's not how it works)
JE: getting mad
Love ryan & esposito taking two different angles
Ryan give her a hug
that's true! we already have this stuff w 3xk!
girl he took voice lessons to sound like esposito he could surely take body movement lessons
(btw love the outfits & ig lighting too & all this stuff & the acting is good too.)
Martha sus.
Makes sense to me. Run off the road by an suv of COURSE I'd pay to have it crushed! it made me mad!
Exceot he asked for it to be crushed before!! it ran him off.
Martha sounds happy he's alive while becks sounds mad he's lying
it's authentic. & terrific?
{Why was CASTLE the one to pay for the car to get crushed tho?}
yeah why WASN'T castle under duress?
walking away from bekett would also mean walking away from alexis, that would NOT happen?
Vinnie turned over the money to help his friend Castle!
Mum guessed it was her wedding gift, like for castle's bday the 100th episode.
Call castle's dad
Love the handwriting & the montage scene.
WHERE HER MOM'S MURDER BOARD WAS HHH
Shawn Wash. Love how it's the same two paragraphs repeated over & over lol. Good set design. Well idk but fun set design.
SHE'S CALLING ALL THE WAY TO FRANCE! does she speak french fluently? or just some?
the chair!
noooo closing the shutters!
*little boat*
reminds me of that book where the mom was mentally ill so they couldn't ask for help when they were trapped in the boat.
"this is the USA coast guard, please move."
'this is the canadian lighthouse, that's not gonna happen'
What if you are knocked out & CAN'T ANSWER that u need help?
it wasn't the MIDDLE of the atlantic ocean babes!
THREE BULLET HOLES???
Like peter at the tomb
worst part is SHE didn't do anything to get him back, it just took time & a bullet shot boat
alexis <3
my man has a sunburn
going to be in a coma or smth. Girl chill it's ok. Don't expect him to wake up..
not treat him but... LOOK at him... soOOOO GOOD
yucky coffee.
esposito asking the hard questions. We need a devil's advocate!
ryan's pants look odd with that jackett or at least in this lighting
*beckett right behind them*
take a drink every time u hear the word dinghiy
Yay coast guard captain
my man is so smart.
Was she on the screen call with him at the hospital?
"henry jenkins" or so he's called
a month ago?
lmao look at those rods.
blue blue blue eyes omG
stole his clothes lol
key SEWN into his pants?
so he WAS shot!
a few WEEKS ago???
the other guy said nobody was home.
love the use of the word negative instead of just no.
*thinks the garbage bags contain castle's body parts before remembering he's in the hospital*
two person tent. Looking at the interior it looks more like a five folk tent. (well five if they sleep in mummy bags & head to toe)
"or some kids hanging around taking it for a joyride"
why wouldn't "they" clean up the tent?
late 30s (early 40s)
*takes esposito with her*
the tux would not be put away that way but I'll take it. Esposito is so mad at castle.
his wedding shoes!
his watch!
he was tracking the news to see if they had been able to find/rescue him yet
martha is so happy!
first thing he did was ask for you!
RC: Just so you know, the doctor said that kissing will speed my recovery.
I could clip
yeah it IS supposed to be a joke. I deal with being in a car collision with humour! We keep having crap to deal with when we are trying to get married, it's just so silly silly!
he's a writer he needs to start at the beginning
I think u can tell he is not faking it
he looks so exaasperated when he says "I was unconscious!"
Right yes. why?
I might ask "has it been a year?" or smth bc I'm Dramatic ( if i was castle)
I'd ask if it was supposed to be a joke. I'd ask for proof.
except if he planned this & called vinnie in the morning, he would have had to plan it & he'd remember things before the wedding accident! (techinically not an accident)
bc I want to go there!
Remember Jeremy?
esposito outfit nice, lighting too hard for me to pic. grey or black or navy with a v dark red tie. some pattern (caused by the weave I think, not actual dye)
ryan taking explanations & facts.
lmao tiny little crime scene box!
she's going to cry skdjflskdjfl I love i hate I love this
did he write it in his coma dream? is it an AU
except castle DID set it up! he was the one who set this up!
RC: Yeah, on the INLAND side!!! Not on the ocean side.
he did camp here tho!
some old guy
Not the same guy bwa bwa BWAAAAA
walk & talk
(ryan outfit <3)
Why the setup to be there? what about the evidence?
JE: Mm hmm castle. THEY faked it sure
Fenkins
Remember Jeremy? I want to see more of him I want to see the updates!
alexis is old enough to drink
I love how he moves his hand counter clockwise for tangled & then clockwise for untangled when he talks with his hands there
you DO lose hope & then you get it back!
staring at it was so sweet!
everyone has chairs by their desks!
Almost shot him? srs becks? ew lol
RC: Well, it’s not the same. I can’t remember. Though I do know I missed you terribly. Because there’s no way I wouldn’t.
(could clip)
this is soooo sweet

game of thrones takes from a wamp based on that ali nahdee post on daenerys:
- she’s right; dany is basically a white savior figure
- HOWEVER!
-i also dislike cersei! i don’t find her satisfactory or fulfilling as a villain and am mostly ready for jaime or tyrion to just kill her already,,,, sorry cersei stans u’re still valid it’s just that,,, dany and cersei r both basically just different “takes” on what white women who want power can be like and they r basically just,, the Same
faves (order is random):
-davos (onion KNIGHT!!! onion knight!!!! also he’s doing a GREAT job with his reading!)
-shireen (babie,,,,,,,b a b i e,,,,)
-arya (vengeful/ murderous daughter!! also if she isn’t canonically bi i WILL kill someone)
-gendry (a lad,, laddie boy)
-ygritte (she’s so cool,,,, u know NOTHIN jon snow!)
-grey worm (haven’t seen much of him yet but he is VALID and i hope his crush on missandei works out for both of them)
-missandei (she’s cool so far and i hope she gets an internal character arc that isn’t related to like,, being dany’s translator/ handmaiden/ w h a t e v e r)
- renly (rip KING!!!!)
-margaery kinda
-shae (she’s so cool and sweet and HONEST, god!! like she’s kind of cynical but she has such a big heart!)
-jon snœw (he’s just so e m o, which is super relatable. also he rlly doesn’t know a damn thing!)
-samwell tarly (king of kindness and compassion and being a bookish sweetheart!! jon and sam’s homoerotic friendship fuels my life)
-oberyn martell (call tywin out, oberyn!! call him OUT!!! he’s a bicon and i love him and i WOULD DIE for him! also he’s one of the ONLY characters of color thus far who has like, goals and a character and people he cares about,,, etc)
problematic characters who i vaguely enjoy, sometimes:
- tywin lannister (*lindsay ellis voice* “the best character in television history DO NOT @ me!!”)
-khal drogo (he’s like one of the only indigenous characters on screen who has lines at ALL,,,, other than like,, danyerys’ dothraki “handmaidens” who basically just say “it is known” and wash her fucking silver rapunzel hair or WHATEVERRRR. honestly maybe jason momoa is just attractive and that’s why he’s here,, idk)
-littlefinger (literally the show doesn’t exist nor does it have a plot without him so i GOTTA give him cred for that! also like,, his convos with varys r the BEST,,, maybe chaos rlly IS a ladder)
-melisandre (carice van houten is hot and that’s that on that. red rlly IS her color tbh)
-the other starks (i like them less than arya and jon but they r all valid and compassionate and GOOD and i also didn’t know where to put them in this list other than here so like, yeah.)
-tyrion + jaime (ahhhh yes the redeemable lannisters,, the bois,,, the brüthers,,, )
-varys (he’s not as successful in his schemes as littlefinger but he’s still kinda an icon tbh,,, who said eunuchs cant be ABSOLUTELY BALLER)
those r my thoughts; obviously this is all mostly a joke and like,, not to be taken seriously lmao. did it 4 the meme.. y e a h

a-z fluff alphabet for eren jaeger
these are self indulgent because i was really craving some eren fluff tonight. enjoy!!
A = Admiration (what do they absolutely adore about you?)
Let’s face it. This boy is known for being overly passionate about everything, so he adores absolutely everything about you. Specifically, the fact that you don’t try to baby him and often give him the freedom he needs (but not the freedom, if you get what I mean LMAO). He really appreciates that you allow him to do things on his own and aren’t too overbearing. He already gets enough of that with Mikasa.
B = Body (what is their favorite part of your body?)
Probably your hair. This boy could sit around and play with your hair aimlessly all day; it literally brings him so much joy he can’t even begin to explain it. Loves to braid it, pet it, run his fingers through it, basically anything you can think of.
If you don’t have hair, then probably your hands. He loves to hold your hand in public (since we all know this one is probably possessive as hell) just to show that you’re his. Especially in front of Jean. When you’re alone, he likes to lay back on the bed and trace patterns on your palms, play with your fingers, and laugh at the size difference between your hands, claiming he thinks the size difference is adorable.
C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)
I feel like Eren isn’t entirely huge on PDA, so I wouldn’t go as far as saying he likes to cuddle in public, but when it’s just the two of you (or a group of you and maybe a few friends), expect him to be trying to initiate cuddles all the time. This boy is so seriously touch starved, he yearns for your touch all the time. I mean, who would say no to him, though? I love him 🥺
D = Dates (what does their ideal date with you look like?)
I’m not gonna lie, I don’t think Eren is the romantic type perse, BUT, I definitely think if he were to have an ideal date with you it would include a late night picnic with extremely deep conversations about how you imagine your future to be. Lots of cuddles. You’d definitely have a good time, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you guys got so carried away in your chatting that you fell asleep in each other’s arms.
E = Emotions (how do they express emotion around you?)
This boy is the worst at expressing his emotions, I swear. He’s sad? Angry. He’s happy? Slightly less angry. He’s angry? You’d better start running. When it comes to getting him to talk to you about his emotions, he really doesn’t like to be pushed. He has issues acknowledging that he has issues in the first place, but once he does realize it, he usually takes a few days to process and think before choosing to talk to you about it (if he ever does). This boy’s feelings are an enigma, but he’s working on it. This can cause a rift in your communication, but it’s an easy fix if you’re willing to talk to him about it. The last thing he wants to do is let his inability to express emotions ruin the best thing he’s ever had.
F = Family (do they want one? If they do, when?)
Okay, canonically? I don’t think this boy has ever thought about it. I don’t think he ever thought he’d live that long. Especially S4 Eren, starting a family is the last thing on his mind. So, probably not, I’d barter.
However, in a modern AU? I definitely see Eren wanting children with you. I can’t see him wanting them until he’s in his late twenties/early thirties, but I 100% think he would want some. Only if you did, though. Kids are something he can live without, even though he would really like to have some if he were given the chance.
G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)
Like I mentioned previously, I don’t think Eren is a very romantic person. However, he never passes up the opportunity to buy you something. I think it’s his way of compensating for not being able to express his emotions very well with you. He’s got to show he cares about you somehow, right? Expect lots of chocolates from him randomly. I can also see him sneaking onto your laptop just to see what’s on your amazon wishlist so he can go and buy them for you later.
H = Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)
All the time! He loves holding your hand; I’d say it’s the only form of PDA that he’s really comfortable with. It keeps him grounded, especially during particularly stressful times in his life. For example, in the canon universe, he’d hold onto your hand a little extra before and after expeditions. In a modern AU, I’d say he’d hold your hand before a particularly rigorous exam, or after he’s had a really rough day at work. It just reminds him that everything will be okay because you’re there. He’s never really had anything to bring him back down to earth when he gets all caught up with his emotions, so he relies on it pretty hard in that sense.
I = Injury (how would they act if you got hurt?)
TBH? He’d probably get pissed LMAO. But not at you, anger is basically the only way this boy can express emotions. Deep down, he’d be really, really worried about you. He’d probably sit around and mope. He’d grumble in response to any questions you’d ask him. He’s just in emotional overdrive, poor baby can’t process anything bad happening to you, it makes him want to go apeshit.
J = Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank you? how?)
I feel like he jokes around with you quite a bit, but more so in the form of teasing. If you’re short, be prepared for the short jokes. He’s unrelenting.  
K = Kisses (how do they like to kiss you?)
Say it with me: P👏A👏S👏S👏I👏O👏N👏A👏T👏E👏L👏Y. He does not halfass his kisses. He gives the type of kiss that leaves you gasping for breath afterwards, the type that makes you see stars behind your eyelids. Kissing Eren takes you to another dimension. It’s fucking amazing.
L = Love (how do they show you they love you?)
I’d say mostly through gift giving and physical touch. He’s not very good with expressing that he loves you through words since one, he’s afraid he’ll say the wrong thing, two, he’s too scared that he’ll embarrass himself, and three, there literally isn’t a way to put the way he loves you into words. The way he feels about you transcends all languages.
M = Memory (favorite memory together?)
The day you two first met. He will never forget the very first moment he laid eyes on you. He considers it to be the best day of his life (though he keeps that to himself because he’s afraid you’ll tease him about it and he wants to keep up his manly facade).
N = Nightmare (what is their worst fear?)
Unintentionally hurting you or losing you. Eren can’t imagine life without you, he wants to keep you around for as long as he can. He’s afraid one day he’ll go too far in an argument and finally push you away forever. He’s not prepared for that at all.
O = Oddity (what is one quirk they have?)
Loves to hug you just so he can smell you LMAO. Sounds weird, but your scent genuinely just fills him with joy.
P = Pet Names (what do they like to call you?)
Sticking to the classics here: Eren really likes to call you baby and babe, specifically babe. I feel like he only calls you baby when he’s feeling especially affectionate OR he’s begging for something/trying to get out of an argument without any consequences. LMAO
Q = Quality Time (how do they like to spend time with you?)
Alone and at home. Of course, he doesn’t mind going out to movies or out to dinner every once and a while, but he prefers to spend time with you in private, so he can love you without anything to hold him back and no unwelcome and prying eyes.
R = Rhythm (what song reminds you of them?)
Heat Waves by Glass Animals. More specifically, the slowed and reverb version on YouTube. I couldn’t explain why even if I tried. I just get the vibes.
S = Secrets (how open are they with you?)
The thing with Eren is, he doesn’t mind laying out his past to you plain and simple. He will tell you every grueling detail of his childhood (including things he hasn’t even told Armin). Presently, he doesn’t keep any secrets from you. The word ‘secret’ doesn’t apply to you. The only thing that I’d say he really keeps a ‘secret’ are his emotions, but I covered that already.
T = Time (how long did it take you to get together?)
I want to say that you got together relatively quickly, but I just can’t. If I’m being realistic, I’d say nine months to a year. Eren just wasn’t sure if he was ready to commit (or if he was ready to have something to lose) so he just kept you around as a ‘really good friend’ or you guys had some sort of friends with benefits deal going on.
U = Upset (how do they act when you’re upset?)
He doesn’t know how to act. He doesn’t know what to say. He just sits and listens to what you have to say, provides the tissues, and hugs you when you look like you need it. He’s really very comforting once he’s relaxed enough in your relationship to show you his more sensitive side.
V = Vaunt (what are they proud of? Do they like to show you off?)
Eren 100% loves to show you off. Especially to his friends. ESPECIALLY to Jean. It brings him a special type of joy when he can rub having you as his girlfriend in Jean’s face.
“She’s all mine, horse face.”
Poor Jean. Probably wasn’t even looking in your direction to begin with. Eren’s just a possessive and competitive shit.
W = Warrior (how do they feel about you fighting? Would they fight for you, beside you, etc?)
He thinks you’re a badass and respects your willingness in the Survey Corps. He would 100% fight for you; he would lay his life down for you if he needed to (let’s hope not). He would worry about you, obviously, but ultimately he knows that you can handle yourself so he’s not too worried. Often times you’re the one who has to keep him from getting chomped, so he’s really grateful to you in that sense. You allow him to fight on his own for the most part but when it gets a little too dangerous you swoop in.
X = X-Ray (how well are they able to read you?)
At first? Tch. Homeboy is OBLIVIOUS to anything you’re feeling. But after you’ve been together one, maybe two years? He can read you like a book.
Y = Yes (how would they propose to you?)
Probably in a nonchalant way if I’m being honest. Just brings it up so casually in conversation one day that you almost completely missed it.
“Hey, Eren, what do you need from the grocery store? I’ve already got chocolate milk on the list, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
“Um…more shampoo? Some more shaving cream and…your hand in marriage?”
“Shampoo…shaving cream…and my hand in marriage. Got it.” Eren snickers. You knit your eyebrows together in confusion as to what he’s laughing at and scan over the contents of what you just wrote down to make sure you didn’t write down the wrong thing. When you notice it, you let out the loudest gasp known to man. “Wait- my…oh my god, are you serious?”
“Yep.”
“YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT IN A MORE OBVIOUS WAY, YOU ASSHOLE! I FEEL SO DUMB RIGHT NOW.”
“More obvious? What could be more obvious than that?” You mentally facepalm.
Z = Zen (what makes them feel calm?)
He loves to play with your hair, but have I mentioned how much he loves it when you play with his hair? You could get this man to fall asleep in 10 seconds flat just by gently scratching your fingernails against his scalp.

Who do u think is gonna die in s4???
I'm hoping that Stranger Things doesn't go the modern, edgy route by killing off main characters for shock value. The whole "don't get attached because anyone can die" trend is really cheap, if you ask me. There might be some narrative purpose to killing some characters off, but I think a story like this is begging for a happy ending, which would be hindered by major character deaths.
I think new secondary characters are a tossup, as they've always been.
Don't get attached to any B-names, either.
As far as we can tell, Hawkins basically descends into hell in this season. This means anyone in town is more or less fair game. It's fair to say that the Party will be better prepared for this than the rest of the town since they're more likely to catch on early and more experienced with the dangers. The rest of the town, though... Well, let's just say I wouldn't want to be one of the new Hawkins residents we've never seen before.
I think there will be plenty of death teases, though. Several characters might have extremely close calls. The ones I think who might get teased with deaths the most are Steve, Jonathan, and Karen. All three have narrowly avoided being killed off already, which is sometimes used as foreshadowing. They better not kill off Steve, though.
Mike has been all too willing before to put himself in harms way to protect or save El and Will, so this might make things dangerous for him. I can't see it actually happening, though. El and Will would both completely lose it, making any happy ending impossible. He might take a beating, though.
I also think that Will might try to sacrifice himself out of guilt and despair. If he indeed is responsible for creating the Upside Down, and he finds out about it, then he might think it's only fair that he die to stop anyone else from dying. He'll either "succeed" as the cliffhanger leading to season 4, or someone (like Mike) will stop him and convince him that it's not his fault.
Extreme, but unlikely prediction: The heroes fail in season 4. All of Hawkins is completely engulfed by the Upside Down. The entire town is effectively "killed." Saving Hawkins and ending the threat once and for all would ultimately be the plot of season 5.

For the character thing, please do Rose Tyler
Ooo thats fun. I was not expecting a doctor who character. Ok. Lets go.
Why I like them: part of it is just because she was my first companion. I fell in love with Doctor Who through her. But also, theres something to be said for a perfectly normal, ordinary person with flaws and who probably doesnt think much of themselves, who is young and naive and loving, who ends up doing extraordinary things without some preternatural destiny guiding them. The only other companion who really hit on that was Bill. Donna had a bit, but there were elements of s4 that implied that it was all some sort of prophecy coming together. The DoctorDonna and all that. Rose really was so ordinary. Even Bad Wolf was born of something so ordinary, so human, this intense love and desire to protect. Rose was, in so many ways, such a perfect first companion, because from the beginning shes such an every girl. And she has so much compassion for so many. Everytime she interacts with people, especially people who work for other people, she treats them like people and like equals. Theres the mechanic in "the end of the world," gwenyth, etc. I just... Ugh. I love her. Bills still my fave, but rose is a VERY close second.
Why I don't like them: her selfishness. I dont know if its really that I dont like her because of it, because I like that she has a real, human flaw, and its a real reason that people might dislike them. It means shes well written, and feels real and human. But it still bugs me. Especially in s1, but even in parts of s2. She treats Mickey and her mother with this dissmissiveness, which is very immature. Like she thinks they only exist when shes around. She gets called on it though, and pretty early on. She never fixes it fully, especially where Jackie is concerned, but she makes an effort. But you can especially see it in school reunion, with her jealousy of sarah jane. She has a problem with the people she loves fully having lives outside of her, especially when those lives seem like a threat to the one shes creating.
Favorite Episode: the Parting of ways, fear her, turn left, or stolen earth/journeys end. Aka, im a simple girl with simple pleasures, and those pleasures are rose being a badass/saving the day. Special mention for the idiot lantern bc i must have watched it 20 times and they give me LIFE the doctor and rose in that episode.
Favorite season: 2. Shes starting to get more confident and sure of herself, but shes still human and flawed.
Favorite Line: whatever the hell she says during the christmas invasion, when shes trying to get the sycorax to leave. Its utter bull, makes zero sense, and its beautiful.
OTP: Doctor/Rose. Any doctor. Im a little desperate to see rose/thirteen. Also Rose/doctor/river. If ianto didnt exist, id say rose/jack/doctor, but alas, he does.
Favorite outfit: oh god. Either the one in the unquiet dead, the idiot lantern, the long game, or the doctor dances. There are so many more though. Her costuming was brilliant.
BroTP: rose and jack.
Headcanon: you mean besides time lord/immortal Rose? Ok here it goes.
So when Rose dropped out of high school for Jimmy Stone, she ran away. Went off on tour with Stone and his band. While on tour, she got.very close to the other band members, including the lead singer/lyricist, a very cute 20 yr old Welshman going through his rebellious phase named Ianto Jones, who helped her figure out she needed to go home and, in the process realized he needed to stop rebelling and start acting like a mature adult, leading to him eventually signing on with Torchwood. Meanwhile, Rose is stranded all the way in Paris because she won't stay on that tour bus with Jimmy, and she's terrified to call her mum, who had told her she'd never forgive her if she ran off and wasted her life on Jimmy. Penniless and desperate, walking alone in the rain, Rose thinks she's never going to make it back to London when she almost gets run over by a car after forgetting to watch where she's going and wandering into the street. The driver swerves and just barely miss her, and after pulling over, a man hops out of the car and starts admonishing her, when Rose bursts into tears. Feeling badly, the man insists on taking her home. She tells him home is in London, too far away for her to accept, but the man refuses to listen, telling her he was heading to London anyway, and here, why don't you borrow my cell phone and call your mum, I'm sure she wants you home. He's right of course, and Jackie cries from relief at hearing from her and is thrilled she's coming home. The man's name was Rory, she learned on the drive, and he was married to a wonderful woman who he loved named Amy, and they lived in Leeds but he was travelling around from work and he was heading from Paris to London because of it. It took six hours to gt back to London, and once they got there, her mum treated Rory to breakfast and he went on his way and rose never saw him again.
Yes, it was that Rory. He was with Amy and the Doctor and he got stranded in Paris in the early 2000's and he wasn't heading into London at all but he felt very bad about almost hitting the poor girl with his car and he recognized her from an old picture he found while he was wandering the Tardis and he brought it to the doctor to ask him about it and the Doctor got very sad and very quiet and walked very quickly away from the conversation and Rory figured that meant that he used to travel with her and there was a sad story in there somewhere and he was curious about the girl and how she'd inspire that kind of emotion from a man he'd rarely seen care about anything real.
Should I make this a fanfiction? I kind of want to make this an actual fic... Anyway.
Unpopular opinion: ...She is a very much not straight woman. I don't know if that's unpopular, but it isn't popular. Or at least, it isn't talked about.
A wish: That she comes back in S13 and we see a reunion. I am but a simple girl with simple pleasures and I have been WAITING WITH BATED BREATH FOR A ROSE COMEBACK FOR YEARS AND I AM O V E R D U E.
An OMG-Please-Don't-Ever-Happen: For a character that is no longer in the show there isn't much I can say. I'd be very disappointed if they brought Rose back and ruined it but that requires them to bring her back first.
5 words that best describe them: Kind, good, jealous, badass, loving
My nickname for them: I don't really have one
Give me more characters! I love this!

Top 10 mcr songs that you can apply to spn to make me sob
ISRA im gonna scream <3 Okay I'm gonna put this under a cut bc this is such niche content and also there are PARAGRAPHS ahead so be warned
send me a top 5/top 10!
1. Heaven Help Us: "I'm at this old hotel, but U can't tell if I've been breathing or screaming or sleeping, or waiting for the man to call" "And the punchline to the joke is asking, someone save us?" Season 5 vibes..... Everything abt the angel imagery and the fruitless begging for help. "The angels come screaming / Down your voice / I hear you've been bleeding / Make your choice / They say you've been pleading / someone save us" gives me STRONG early season Dean being told he's Michael's sword vibes.
2. Mama: We've established that literally Every lyric works but. "if you can coddle the infection / they can amputate at once" with the psychic abilities and this being John's view on it! like how he can just cut it off from Sam instead of acknowledging it. "and if you can stay then I'll show you the way / to return from the ashes you call" and how this whole song is Sam talking to Mary in 4.21 when he's going through withdrawals and he's battling the parts of him that think he's doing the right thing vs. him thinking that he's corrupted and fucked up!!!!! i Cannot stop thinking abt it.
3. Early Sunsets Over Monroeville: This is literally just same at the end of Heart when Sam has to kill Madison!! "not knowing you'd change from just one bite / i fought them all off just to hold you close and tight" "And if I had the guts/ To put this to your head/ But would anything matter / If you're already dead?" It's him contemplating if he should kill her bc she's been changed into a werewolf. literally i have So Many Emotions someone pls save me.
4. Vampires Will Never Hurt You: Sam talking to Dean/himself abt his psychic abilities & the demon blood! "And if they come and get me. / What if you put the spike in my heart?" him telling Dean to kill him if he goes dark side. "And someone save my soul, tonight / Please save my soul" Sam knowing he doesn't want to die like this and feeling like he has to rectify what he's done, "purify" himself... Yeah. Yeah.
5. Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back: Swan Song Vibes 💕 "I hope you're ready for a firefight / 'Cause the devil's got your number tonight (they say)" Sam deciding to say yes to Lucifer. "Who gives a damn if we lose the war / Let the walls come down / Let the engines roar" The walls are the barrier between Sam and Lucifer & the engines are the impala going into the cemetery! "Through the broken glass and the morning light / Be a burning star if it takes all night / So just save yourself I'll hold them back tonight" Sam to Dean before he jumps in the pit to save the world from angel war
6. This Is How I Disappear: The inbetween s3 and s4! "To un-explain the unforgivable / Drain all the blood and give the kids a show" "There're things that I have done / You never should ever know" obviously Sam starting to drink demon blood. "Can you hear me cry out to you? / Words I thought I'd choke on figure out / I'm really not so with you anymore" Sam feeling the absence of Dean! "And now, you wanna see how far down I can sink?" :(
7. On a completely different side, I Never Told You What I Do For A Living: it's a Castiel song. Hear me out. "You can say a prayer if you need to / Or just get in line and I'll grieve you /Can I meet you, alone" Cas talking Dean, maybe referring to how often the Winchesters die. "Another knife in my hands / A stain that never comes off the sheets" Angel blade, abt him killing other angels or maybe just in general abt how it taints him away from being an angel. "Touched by angels, though I fall out of grace / I did it all so maybe I'd live this every day" The fall!!! He becomes human and loses his grace. And then "I tried, I tried" well. That one's obvious.
8. I don't even think I need to quote Helena for it to make sense. Dean about Mary. He's grieving over her death "We are so far from you / Burning on / Just like the match you strike to incinerate". "So long and goodnight".
9. Isra you did Thanks For The Venom justice already but I'm going to re-emphasize: "I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me, I'm just the way that the doctor made me" abt the boy king content and how azazel made him to become the king of the demons! "give me a reason to believe" is Sam looking for reasons yo hunt and keep hunting and believe in the cause against evil "If this is what you want then fire at will" Sam @ Dean during the s4 fight, telling Dean to just kill him like Dad said. "preach all you want, but who's gonna save me?" Along the same lines, Sam talking to Dean abt working with ruby or the demon blood, saying there's no other way to kill Lilith... yeah.
10. Welcome to the Black Parade: i mean. C'mon. This is absolutely a Dean song. the direct parallels you could make to the band & hunting Hits like.... John indoctrinating Dean to hunting by being like "will you be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?" "Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me" abt Mary. "I'm just a man, I'm not a hero. Just a boy who had to sing this song" Dean never really wanting to hunt but being told and forced to for so long that he doesn't have a purpose outside of it and only knows how to be a hunter. We are Feeling It boys.

R & U
Thaaaaanks for asking!
R - For me to tell 10 of my curiosities. 
I’m guessing we’re talking interesting facts here? You probably know most of these, but I hope some followers of mine will be entertained. Oh my, 10, let’s see...
My childhood nickname is the German word for bee & it has nothing to do with my real name.
I’ve lived in 4 countries so far (and there’s so many more to explore!)
I used to do synchronised swimming at a professional level
You can clearly see the same nose profile on me and paintings of both my great-grandfather and my grandfather on the paternal side. Genetics sure are fun!
I’ve only properly stepped out of the house about 7 times since lockdown began in March. We thankfully have a garden.
I am in the background during Sherlock S4, not as an official SA but just because of my commitment to being around lol
I once won a horse. No, I will not elaborate.
I cannot deal with spicy food to save my life. Things that others try for me and classify as ‘not at all spicy’ is usually still too spicy for me.
I did not make it to homeroom (which was the first 15 minutes of the school day) or indeed arrive on time to the actual first class of the day for probably 99% of my last year in high school. (I mean I have been late to things pretty much ever since I was a month early for my birth (fact no 10 lol) which I guess took up all my motivation for being early for things, but that really was another level altogether).
I was still in the top 5% of my year though. Yes, sorry, I have always been that annoying person who has to do the bare minimum to get the good grades. Fun at the time but it sure has fucked up my work ethic for the rest of my life.
U - How many texts I send daily. 
Lol well actual texts would be 0. Do people still text? Anyways, if we’re talking written messages over all platform then wow, so, so many, especially currently. I’m also the worst texter cause I like to seperate my thoughts into different messages, so you#ll get like 20 from me at a time. Kinda tempted to do an actual count now of the last 24 hours, let me give it a try.
So I’ve counted about 484 messages sent by me over the last 24 hours in various chats, almost 3/4 of which are @glassofgaytea lol about life, the universe 6 everything, as usual, but also mostly about The Untamed currently. Oh and I also watched a film via Netflix party last night so that’ll be another million messages in the chat or so. We know what my hands think about all this typing...
If anyone else has a burning question, here’s the post

BBC Merlin, for the ask game!
Oh, thank you! 💖💖💖
send me a fandom and i’ll tell you…
the first character i ever fell in love with: one Merlin Emrys, babes!!! what can i say ?? i’m a basic bitch
a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: morgana. not even, like, i loved her at the start and hated her at the end, like, i loved her all the way to the end the first time around and then i watched it again and like,,,,,,, wow, that bitch was really,,,,,,,,, not great. not even in S1. Do Not Like Her.🙅🙅🙅
a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: Mergana tbh. Colin Morgan and Katie McGrath had a lot of natural chemistry and i think a lot of people shipped the characters because of that, but i have to admit, i don’t think they’d work too well together anymore. even if Morgana hadn’t gone off her shit in S3.
my ultimate favorite character™: MERLIN 😭✊🙏 EMRYS 😭✊🙏
prettiest character: ghytghgfb is it,,,,,,,,,, is it too early to say one (1) merlin emrys again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ????????
my most hated character: mmm,,,,,,, i really want to say Lord Agravaine, but tbh, he makes me laugh a little too much to ACTUALLY hate him, so i guess Uther
my OTP: Merlin/Freya was pretty cute!! it’s the only one i genuinely like enough to produce content for, so yeah, we’ll say Merlin/Freya
my NOTP: Merlin/Arthur and Merlin/Mordred
favorite episode: Le Morte d’Arthur ((please dont @ me, it’s v v important to me))
saddest death: Freya, tbh. i know i’m like, morally obligated to say Arthur, but nothing tore me up like the gIRL WHO LIVED HER ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE AS A GODDAMNED S L A V E AND TERRIFIED OF HER MAGIC AND HATING HERSELF AND SHE FINALLY GETS LIKE ONE FUCKING RAY OF HOPE, SHE FINALLY GETS ONE GOOD THING, AND THEN SHE FUCKING ,,,,,,, DIES ????? oh but it’s okay because Merlin made her “feel loved” ????? nO!!!! she deserved to KEEP feeling loved !!!!!! cowards.
favorite season: THE 👏 SEASON 👏 WHERE 👏 MERLIN 👏 EMRYS 👏 GOT 👏 HOT 👏 i think y’all call it,,,,,,,,,, “S4″ ?????? 
least favorite season: mmmm gonna have to say S5, too sad, too much death. also kind of,,,,,,,, boring tbh. so ,,,,,,, much ,,,,,,,,,,,, filler ,,,,,,,,,
character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: morgana, i guess ??? but i don’t really passionately hate her, i would just prefer not to see positive content about her
my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: THE MAGICAL  BASTARD MAN !!!!! MERLIN HIMSELF !!!! also Kilgharrah too
my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Q U E E N G U I N E V E R E 😭😭😭
my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: ,,,,,,,, nothing ? i don’t think ? i’m seriously not much of a shipper, let alone a “nasty” shipper.
my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: kinda coming around to Arthur/Gwen!! still not crazy about them, but i don’t mind them so much anymore
thanks again for asking! 💖💖💖

Do u think they’ll bring back the pod form of storytelling seen in s4 for s7? I think the pods worked best for aos and I’m a bit worried about s7 cause even tho I loved s6 it was a bit slow and for a 13 ep season it had quite a lot of fillers
Hi Anon,
I disagree on Season 6, it had 2 distinct Pods for me with a larger overarching story.   I think a lot about how fans feel about Season 6 and its arcs will come down to who their favorite characters are as some arcs wrapped up earlier than others.  6A and Space Team Fitz Rescue is my favorite Arc ever.
I do agree the Pods of Season 4 Worked very well.  I made for some very tight story telling with very little in the way of filler episodes.  I think my one complain for pace there is they spent one too many episodes in the Framework (looking at you All the Madame’s Men) and that led to them running out of real estate in the finale.  They could have played out getting Fitz back a bit longer, given us Robbie a little longer, and then gone running into the final battle.  
I think Season 7 is going to be one big story as the writers wrapped everything up for the last time with a large over arching story in saving earth from the Chronicoms and that will be supplimented with a bunch of mini arcs for each of the characters to help wrap them up at the same time.  I’ve been calling for a return to the “monster of the week” format we saw in early season one only this time its “we’re saving this point/person in history”.  I feel like some of those episodes will be billed as events if it means the return of a big/beloved character from the past ie Ward, Trip, Mace, Robbie, and Huntingbird kinds on people.   Davis and Piper will return (based on IG towards the end of the Season).  Flint is still around.  I still hold out for Dadcliffe too.  I also would love if they find a way to bring back Garrett.  
Mini Arcs I have my eye on:
Robo Coulson 2.0 dealing with being a Robot and finding his humanity and deciding who we wants to be.  He also needs to get this “I’m Invincible” business out of his head and fast...we know that never ends well.
May is going to be in recovery and I feel like she will have taken massive steps back, like back to season one steps back, in that her heart has been broken, her hope was shattered with Sarge and now she has yet another version of Coulson to work with.  This one is well aware of his feelings for her.  It’s going to be one weird arc.   I also see her at odds with characters like Daisy and Jemma who brought him about.  
Daisy is going to be getting closer and closer becoming the leader Coulson always wanted her to be.  Look for Robo Coulson to be in full on mentoring mode with her and for her to successfully take the lead in a number of high stress situations.  I am still feeling it will all end with her Director.  Then there MIGHT be the whole Daisy Deke thing brewing....I can’t deny I’m starting to see evidence but if they do go there it’s slow burn and they won’t become an item until nearly the end.  
Elena will continue to grow as a fighter and get to know her new arms.  I feel like she’s really found her place in Shield, is a good agent, and will be incredibly supportive of Mack as he leads.  
Mack is also going to continue to grow as a leader but I think there will be some growing pains with Robo Coulson in the mix.  He’ll be a great right hand but at the same time I can see them also kind of stepping on each others toes too.  That being said Mack/Coulson team ups/missions from Season 4 were some of my favs.  Those who follow me know I don’t see it ending well for Mack though.  I fear he is going to fall in the finale battle. 
Jemma the weight of the secret she is hiding will take its toll on her for a decent chunk of the season.  (yes I am still on my secret kid hill) and why Fitz has to be hidden away.  In addition she will have the toll of being away from Fitz again and the fact he is quite possibly in constant danger of being found.  I am also looking for her to confide in and grow closer to Deke as he works with her in the lab.  
Fitz is going to be our man of mystery.  He’ll be running things from a secure location but also be part of what Jemma is hiding (insert hidden kid theory once more).  They Mystery of WHY he has to be in hiding might take a bit to finally be revealed and I do believe its more than they Chronicoms need him for something.  I’m looking for FItz to be on his own for most of the season, a 98% chance he’s FItznapped (its tradition) and we won’t see him with the whole team until pretty much the very end.
Deke is possibly going to have some of the biggest development of everyone next season.  He’s really going to have to step up and fill his Grandfather’s shoes with Fitz in hiding.  I also see Jemma leaning on him making good on his “I would have shared it with you”. Aside from being an absolute hoot as they run through time I think he’ll really start to find his place in this world and within the team.  this is also a red flag for me in that he could get close to the heroic sacrifice realm of things.  
Enoch is going to be the best Godfather to the Fitzsimmons secret kid ever!  Sorry new crack theory which I must see ficced at some point in hiatus.  Enoch will be the expert in the Chronicoms for the team, how they operate and who many of them are.  However, in the trailer he looks to get left behind so this will put the team at a loss for a bit until they manage to find him again and then there is a sizable danger if the Chronicoms find him first.  Getting left behind is likely what takes Enoch out of the mix for a few eps.

Sick (Jasper Jordan x reader)
Request: "Ok ok I just had a cute image as I was bandaging my finger and thinking about Jasper Jordan, what if you're one of the assistants for Abby (not essentially a professional trained nurse) but just helping for minor things like cuts or medicine if someone doesn't feel well and jasper got hurt once without realizing you were one of the assistants and now that he knows he kinda fakes being sick to see you and you're like "u sure" and he's like "mhm," I dunno, if you want! :) " ~ Anonymous
I legit, can't get enough of this idea! 💕
A/N: First of all, I have to thank @trickkombowerskru for helping me with this because I didn't know which Jasper you wanted for this. We settled on S4 because Jasper has so much downtime in S4. As always! Feel free to make requests and give feedback, I love it! ✌❤
Warnings: none? Pretty soft.

"Y/N, come here." You're called. You swiftly make your way through the ward and into the main room. Sitting on one of the gurneys sits a young man with a large tear in his shirt about the bicep. Blood has stained the tear and his skin. Abby, your mentor and doctor of this makeshift ward pushes up his sleave and is beginning to clean the wound with alchohol. The young man hisses.
"What do you need?" You ask her, approaching the young man's wound. You know what she needs.
"Can you handle this?" Abby asks.
"Of course, I can." You tell her as she starts to walk away. You've only just started your training in nursing, but you're a good student and fast learner as far as Abby is considerened and you have to be in the current state of everything. Currently, you care for the cuts and bruises making sure no one gets an infection of disease if they are ill.
"Oh. It's you." The young man states with a bit of surprise. You look up, for some reason you were so focused you hadn't noticed that it was Jasper sitting there this whole time. A friend of yours from classes way back on the Arch. He's so different now its a little shocking to see him. By now his hair is growing back from when be shaved it, and he's growing facial hair. Doesn't look too bad. If it wasn't for the fact that he practically starved and dehydrated himself, he'd be rather...dashing.
"It is I." You smiled at him. He gave a weak smile back before you back to cleaning the gash on his arm. "How'd you get this one?" You asked him, finally wiping away the last of the dirt and blood. Jasper shrugged.
"My shirt snagged on some metal." He brushed it off.
"It looks pretty bad." Jasper didn't answer your comment, he just watched you as you layed down a piece of clean cloth and pressed down, hard. It felt strange to him, the way you held his arm and pressed down. Touch hadn't felt like that, in sometime now. Didn't matter who touched him, things felt numb or filled with fustration, sadness, or hate. He didn't like people touching him really, but this felt different. It felt...fine for once. Catering and gentle. It made his heart pump a little.
Jasper had always thought of you as cute. On the Arch, you were the cute girl in his class. He was always a little too nervous to talk to you and as time went on, you became just a friend. Jasper was surprised to see you when you came down with the rest of the Arch. In fact, he had nearly forgetten about you after all that time. After the landing, the grounders, Mt. Weather...he was so different. Not that it stopped you from trying to be his friend. He had been pushing everyone away for sometime now, and it worried you deeply.
"There you go. All set." You told him as you finished wrapping fabric around his arm. He felt, a little disappointed. He didn't realize that this would go by so fast. Her watched to watch you just a little longer.
"Thank you." He pulled down his shirt sleeve and hopped off the gurney.
"Just keep an eye on it and try to change your bandages daily. Clean with soap and water." You ordered.
"Yes, ma'am." Jasper nodded and walked away. Oh how you hated to see him leave but loved to watch him go. You caught yourself starring.
Two days later, Jasper stumbled into the ward early in the morning complaining of a headache unlike any other. He said something ridiculous like, the effects of radiation creating a brain tumor pressing on his brain because thats what it felt like, pressing, pressure. He looked fine.
"On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad?" You asked, pressing the back of your hand against his forhead to test for a temperature. No fever.
"10. It hurts to move." He complained. You crossed your arms. He looked sad, pitiful even.
"Well, we can't spare any pain relief meds. But we can try one thing." Jasper's eyes lit up a little.
"What?"
"Water." You handed him your bottle of water, which he took, now looking a little disappointed. You gave a small smile, knowing thats not what he wanted. You sure what he had expected or wanted, but it wasn't that. He took the water and drank reluctantly. "You're just dehydrated and probably a little hung over, Jasper. Look." You took his wrist, and pushed up thr long sleeve just a bit. You pressed down, and the color of his skin changed to a paler pigment, it stayed that way when you pulled your finger away until it faded. "See?"
"Cool trick." He muttered. He liked it when you held his wrist.
"Just go and eat something, drink some water and maybe take it easy today, okay?" You told him with a sympathetic smile. "You'll be fine." You reassured before walking away to attend to someone else. Jasper sighed and left, again, disappointed.
At this point, Jasper wanted nothing more than be around you. And he never saw you outside of the ward so this was all he could do. A day later, he was back. Complaining of nausea and dizziness. For a moment you worried it was the flu, until you saw him. He looked fine to you.
You approached the bed he sat on again, and placed your hands on your hips. He looked up at you with sad, tired eyes. It worked for a second, a second.
"Nauseas, huh?" You asked him, he just a sad nod. "You're sure?"
"Mmhm."
"Have you eaten anything today?" He nodded. "Drank water like I told you?" He nodded. "Are you hungover?" He shook his head. You sighed and checked again for his temperature, a little warm, but not concerning. "Any other symptoms?" You asked. He shook his head. You gave him water and a hard peppermint candy that was left over from the arch. "Suck on this, and see how you feel. Drink plenty of water, and get some rest. Okay?" You told him.
"Nothing else?" He asked. Again, he wanted to stay longer and watch you.
"Nope. Now, if you don't mind, I have someone with the flu who cant keep a damn thing down. Exscuse me."
"Wait." He called you back.
"Yes?" You asked, turning back. Jasper paused for a minute.
"My headache is back." He croaked. You giggled at him.
"You're fine, Jasper." You smiled at him. He fell quite for a few seconds before speaking again.
"How come I never see you outside of the ward? You dont work on the wall or rations?"
"No. I mostly work here. I usually take extra shifts for people. And, I'm still in training."
"You don't take a break every now and then? Aren't you tired?"
"I'm exhausted. But...its worth it." You smiled. "Yknow...I do get a break tomorrow though." You told him. He gave a small smirk.
"Would you like to, have lunch with me then?" He asked.
"I would."

what are your favorite ships on the show and can you tell why u ship them
Bellarke, of course. I actually ship them most of all ships not because of the romance, but because their relationship is woven into the narrative base of the show in a symbolic and archetypical way. Bellarke does it for me most, not because of the romantic tropes, although those are fun to watch, but because of the mythic storytelling elements. This isn’t a romance show, but I believe this is the epic tale of Bellarke. I believe that Bellarke is canon. Just because it’s taking us a long time to get to the kissing doesn’t mean it’s not their love story. Not all tv shows have a long term narrative intent, but I believe this one does. And that the original outline for this show was based on Bellarke confirms to me that this show is about their love, even if it’s not a romance, like the book is.  It is The Bellarke Show And JR has admitted that they are both the backbone of The 100 AND the central relationship, so…. not sorry.
Memori. Why do I like them? Because neither of them are heroic characters and yet, they are so great. They are scroungers and scrappers and Murphy is the most honest character on this show. He can’t even lie to himself, which most of the other characters do. And Emori is great because she’s never had anything, at all, she’s always been on the bottom of the heap, more than anyone on the show, and she doesn’t let that stop her. So happy they’re part of a family now and that they are working through their issues.
Marper. Before I joined fandom, I lowkey shipped Marper. I also wouldn’t have minded Harper and Miller, because I saw their relationship, too. I think that turned out to be a platonic partnership (I am sorry we won’t get to see them back together in season 6) and i didn’t know he was gay. I saw Marper in MW, but after reading fics and joining tumblr, i saw Minty, too and came over to the Minty side. When Bryan appeared and Marper happened in s3, I readjusted. Although I never shipped Briller, I easily fell back into Marper, and at this point, I find Marper so profound, accepting, loving, supportive and beautiful that when I see Minty fics I almost feel like Marper is being betrayed. So I’m still dealing with that. 
Mackson. SO love Mackson 100 times more than Briller. I never got over feeling like Bryan was a redshirt and refused to get attached. Jackson was always ours. And I love their caring, supportive relationship now, even if it’s mostly background. Want to see more in s6.
Niytavia. It is not canon. I usually only ship relationships where i can see a connection in canon. I see that here. But we have gotten nothing conclusive. I saw it first in s3, but clearly that was too early after Lincoln. But it was also in s4 and 5. Without ever telling us exactly what their relationship was, and leaving too many blank spaces in season 5 to allow us to figure it out. I used to think that Niytavia could bring Octavia back from the edge, but clearly Octavia was too strong a personality and instead, she brought Niylah to the edge with her. I still think Niylah could help Octavia find peace in season 6. 
Zaven. I’m looking forward to a good ship with them, because I like Shaw and love Raven and he seems like someone who is as quality as she is. But i haven’t seen the kind of things that I love in a ship in the canon yet. I might have had expectations that are too high. IDK. For me they are a hopeful ship but i do not love them yet. Like them, but waiting for the swoon factor. 
I don’t really ship Kabby, although I like them. Their first kiss got me on board with them, but before that, I kind of lowkey shipped Kindra. kabby hasn’t gotten enough attention in s4 or 5.
Didn’t ever love Linctavia. Like but it never did it for me. Too cutesy maybe? idk. How do we explain why a ship doesn’t do it for us? I’m still confused as to why I don’t ship Kabby, they are my age. but it just doesn’t do it for me. 
I think I put my ships in order of preference and investment. At this point, except for Bellarke and Memori, though, I am mostly focused on the non-romantic ships and brotps. princess mechanic, team cockroach. millamy. the blake siblings. murven. clarke x madi x bellamy. clarke x octavia.
Special note: I used to ship bravenlarke as an ot3, but i feel that in canon, bellarke has been focused on so much and raven has not (in their relationship) that they are no longer an equal ot3 so it doesn’t work anymore. They’ve made br/aven platonic and princess mechanic needs serious fixing which I am REALLY invested in for season 6. also, as for ot3, I could have seen bellarcho, but again, they focus too much on how bellamy loves clarke and not enough on how he loves echo, so it wouldn’t work to me. too unequal. they are seriously building bellarke as the epic love story. nothing else compares, although we see echoes through other relationships.

Girl Meets World - Season 5
Tumblr media
[Season 4] *Previously whenrileymetlucas* 
As promised! Here is my season 5 of Girl Meets World.
Word Count: 8692
5.01 Girl Meets the New New World
Another summer has come and past and the clique six prepare themselves for junior year. The episode opens with a parallel scene to S2E2 (GW The New World) where Riley and Maya sit in the bay window and discuss Riley’s kiss with Lucas (but in this episode they are referring to the Rucas dance at the end of my S4)
M: How long are we going to avoid this?  R: Not avoiding nothing, just life moving on beyond that thing that happened between me and Lucas. M: So you admit that something happened? R: No! M: You danced with him at the end of year dance.  R: You danced with Zay! When are we going to talk about that? M: It was just a dance!  R: So was that thing with me and Lucas. M: So we’re all just friends? R: “Sure...” She says and they both look away unconvinced.
During the episode you casually meet Maya’s new baby brother, (whom was born off screen during the break) Chet Alan Hunter - after the father Shawn lost and the man who treated him like a son his entire life (Cory’s dad). 
The episode primarily focuses on everyones interest in Riley and Lucas and what they are to each other now (again much like S2E2) but some similar questions are also thrown at Maya and Zay (referring to their shared dance in my s4e15)
A scene with Riley off to one side and Lucas off to the other plays. 
It flicks to Riley - surrounded by her nosey female peers - and she comments how she feels like she’s lived this all before. 
Then it flicks to Lucas - surrounded by his nosey male peers - and he says the same thing. 
Then back to Riley where she says she's learnt from her mistakes in middle school and won't fall victim to peer pressure again. She’s in control of her own feelings and what she’s ready for with her relationship to Lucas. She comments how Lucas and her have been in a wonderful place all summer.
Then it flashes to Lucas, he says a very similar thing about not listening to everyone and being pressured into a relationship with Riley and how he knows himself enough to be comfortable with what comes next.  
It zooms up to a side by side shot of Riley and Lucas (whom are still opposite sides of the hall) at the peak of their speeches they both take a deep breath and simultaneously they say: 
Tumblr media
*CUTS TO BREAK LEAVING U ALL GASPING* 
*CUTS BACK IN WE STILL GASPING* 
Back to Riley;
R: We tried the brother/sister thing. Didn’t work. Tried the boyfriend/girlfriend thing.. Didn’t work. All summer we’ve done the bes- *Actually stops herself from saying best* Friend thing and it’s been just right.  M: *Staring at Riley like she’s speaking a foreign language* Alright Goldilocks, explain to me again why the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing didn’t work? R: Riley just lets out a sigh. 
Back to Lucas; 
Zay’s standing there with an almost surprised but impressed look on his face whilst Farkle looks completely unsurprised by this ‘revelation’. Lucas explains how he wasted so much time in the triangle confusing his feelings because he was scared of hurting someone and how he’s finally determined to own his own feelings from the start and he’s not going to wait for months this time and get lost in the whole process again. 
At the end of the episode Maya and Zay meet up after breaking away from the boys and girls. 
Z: “What were you all talking about?” Zay is smirking as he finds the potential Riley and Lucas reunion exciting.  M: As Riley’s best friend I’m not at liberty to share. Z: As Lucas’ best friend I extend the same courtesy.....
Tumblr media
5.02 Girl Meets Fight 
The episode opens with Riley and Maya walking down the halls at school. Maya seems frazzled and Riley seems confused. 
M: Are you going to tell Lucas you just want to be friends? R: Why would I tell him that when we are already friends? M: I don’t know. I just think it might be nice if you told Huckleberry you’re friends.  R: But he knows that already...
(Maya clearly is concerned about their friendship dynamics changing since Riley wants to be friends with Lucas but Zay told her that Lucas wants to be more than that).
M: “Look there he is now, go talk to him.” Maya shoves Riley towards Lucas whom is alone at his locker. 
Riley staggers towards Lucas and he closes the locker revealing his previously covered face, a bruise on his cheek. 
R: “What happened to your face?” Riley asks concerned and reaches for his cheek.  L: “It was nothing.” Lucas swats her hand away and Riley notices his wrist is bandaged.  R: “What happened to you wrist?” Riley’s concern is clearly going.  L: I hurt myself at the batting cage yesterday with Zay. I’m fine, don’t worry about it. 
Lucas scurries off before Riley can press further. 
Later, Riley hears Zay talking to Farkle about their science project they were working on the previous night. 
R: Wait, weren’t you with Lucas at the batting cages yesterday? Z: No- I mean, yes? After Zay was clearly lying for Lucas Riley then confronts Maya about Lucas’ injuries and obvious lie and asks if they should be worried about him. Maya convinces Riley to spy on Lucas after school and they find him entering a gym. The two peer through an open window to get a look inside.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucas reveals to Riley that he does kick boxing as a way to relieve stress as his anger has been a challenge in the past. Thus injuring himself there. Riley questions why he kept it from her in the first place and he says he didn’t want her to think any differently of him.
The next day at school Lucas mentioned kick boxing in front of Riley and Maya and Zay gives Lucas a questioning look. 
L: They know about my training.  Z: Thank goodness for that. I’m terrible at keeping secrets. So you two will be at the fight this weekend? R: Fight? What fight? Lucas turns to Zay with an annoyed look.  Z: So they don't know everything. Okay. R: Lucas, what is he talking about? What fight? Isn’t the point of kick boxing to relieve your anger, why would they get you to fight? 
After some pressing, Riley learns Lucas is scheduled to fight another guy from his gym that weekend and it wasn’t organised by the trainers. This boy had been antagonising Lucas about his past and Lucas got it in his head that he needed to fight it out with a set of rules at play. 
After Riley ignores Lucas for the remainder of the day he barrels through her bay window, all huffy and ready to defend his choices. 
Tumblr media
L: I don’t want you to be there but I would like your support. R: You can’t have it. Lucas, I don’t want to see you get hurt. L: You let me get on the bull, why is this any different? R: I didn’t let you do anything. You were doing it with or without my support. I could see you needed to ride Tombstone so I did my best to stand by and watch.  L: And I need to do this too. I know you don’t like ‘Texas Lucas’ and I’m trying to prove that I’m better 
than I was before. How can you not understand that? R: What I don’t understand is why you have to prove anything at all. L: Failure is a weak mans game.  [Riley wears a very upset expression after Lucas’ last statement] R: I hoped you riding Tombstone would be enough. I hoped that it would make you see yourself the way I always have.  L: Like a hero? [Lucas almost scoffs (only because he doesn’t believe it not because he thinks it’s stupid) and Riley’s expression drops even more]
Tumblr media
Lucas gets up and walks towards the window like he’s about to leave. Riley remains at the edge of her bed looking disappointed but Lucas turns around and agrees to not go through with the fight. 
R: You can’t not do it for me.  L: I’m not. I’m not doing it for princess dancing sunshine. [reference to girl meets rules; an early instance where Riley proved to be Lucas’ calming influence/ have the ability to pull him back] [Riley coaxes her head with a small smile mirroring Lucas’ own small grin]  L: But I’m going to work towards not doing it for me too. [Riley stops Lucas just as he’s about to exit]
R: And for the record, I don’t dislike any part of you. I don’t believe in ‘Texas Lucas’ [she uses air quotes] I never have. I believe in a lifetime of past moments that have shaped you into the person you are at this exact point in time. You’re just Lucas, you’ve always been just Lucas to me. 
[another sweet smile exchange before Lucas exits the window and the episode ends]
5.03 Girl Meets Kissing Booth
In history class, Cory tells his students that they each have to sign up for a booth at the upcoming fundraiser for their end of year school trip. Cory announces that there are only two booths left to choose from; the kissing booth or the dunk tank.
Sara proclaims that that makes the decision easy then; boys would of course do the dunk tank and girls would run the kissing booth. Riley expresses how she’s not comfortable with the idea of a kissing booth and questions why ‘of course’ would the boys and girls be divided in such a way.
Sara: I don’t care, I’m just trying to make the decision quick. I’m failing history because of all these life lessons getting in the way. Boys can do the kissing booth and girls can do the dunk tank instead. Ya happy?  R: Why split boys and girls at all? Sara: I regret talking. Z: I’m happy to work the kissing booth *he shrugs* Sara: Do whatever you want then, it’s not like my opinion matters in this classroom. [Knowing looks from non clique six classmates] 
[This is meant to be a comedic exchange, some light forth wall breaking if you please]
Cory: Class, there are two sign up sheets, you may choose whichever one you please but you do have to sign up for one [he wears a hopeful look that this will end the conflict]
As the bell rings Riley, Lucas and Farkle sign up for the dunk tank whilst Maya, Zay and Smackle sign up for the kissing booth. 
Riley is surprised by her best friends choice and questions her on it. Maya says she respects Riley’s choice to work for the dunk tank instead but insists that she herself doesn’t find the kissing booth to be that big of a deal. 
Tumblr media
Later Riley talks to Farkle about her concerns. 
F: I hear what you’re saying but Maya has a point, it is her choice, whether we agree with it or not.  R: But what if this is like her first date with Ethan again and she’s doing it for the wrong reasons? F: It’s still her choice [Farkle wears a somewhat sympathetic smile] R: And I suppose you’re fine with Isadora working the booth then? F: Yes. I trust Isadora completely.  [Riley coaxes her head with a challenging look] F: And I’m rich [he wears a devious smirk]
Later at the fundraiser Riley is working the dunk tank with Lucas [and a few of the background classmates] and Farkle is nowhere to be found. Whilst Lucas sits in the dunk tank - dry at this point - Riley stands and gives people the balls for their throw. Clearly distracted, Riley keeps trying to look over at the kissing booth in the distance. 
R: Do you think she’s done it yet?   L: I don’t know. Where’s Farkle?  R: He said something about getting change for a hundred... [If you’re not understanding the joke, Farkle is buying all of Isadora’s kisses for the day] R: ... I hope she hasn’t done it yet... L: You have to trust that Maya will make the decision that’s right for herself.   [Riley steps closer to the dunk tank, she loops her fingers around the bars and presses her pouty face to the metal] L: It’s really bothering you isn’t it? R: Yes...  L: Is there anything I can do? R: No, I don’t think so. Not unless you wanted to- [a realisation crosses Riley’s face] You could kiss Maya? L: What?! [As the poor puppy has shock written all over his face, someone finally dunks him and Lucas is sent into the water bellow] 
After an ad break it returns with Lucas outside of the tank, a towel wrapped around his shoulders and his shocked expression remaining. 
L: You’re not being serious are you? R: Of course I am. You care about Maya. It’s perfect. Come on Lucas, you almost kissed her in Texas- L: But I didn’t because of- R: Because why? [her expression is soft and curious and Lucas frowns a little]  L: You really want me to do this? Riley just nods with a soft smile.  L: Okay. Fine. [Picture upset puppy walking away like Lucas’ “You can talk to whoever you want Riley” face in Ski lodge 2]
Lucas approaches the kissing booth which is deserted. Behind it, Lucas finds Maya sitting on the floor. 
L: Where is everyone?  M: Farkle bought the entire booth so the principal sent everyone to work at other stalls.  L: Not you? [Lucas takes a seat beside her on the ground] M: I was supposed to go help you with the dunk tank but I'm avoiding Riley. Is she the one who sent you to me? Did she want you to try and talk me out of it? L: No actually, she sent me here to kiss you.  M: She what?! You’re not going to, are you? [Maya throws her hands out defensively] L: No, no! [He chuckles nervously]  M: Good.  L: I take it you didn’t get your kiss before the principal shut the booth down? M: Farkle got here first. Nobody got one.  L: Would you have gone through with it if he didn’t? M: Yes.... I don't know, maybe? L: Why was it so important you get it over and done with?  M: Felt like time. I’m a junior... You had your first kiss in middle school- L: You know there is no set time for things like this? They happen when you’re ready for them to happen. [It’s quiet for a moment] M: So when are you going to tell Riley she still makes your heart go clippity clop? 
 L: Zay told you? 
M: Yes, but I’m also not blind. Are you going to tell her? L: I thought I would but she sent me over here to kiss you… That’s gotta mean something, right? M: Ever since I’ve known Riley she’s tried to give me everything she’s ever had, that includes a first kiss experience that compares to hers. L: Do you think I should be worried that telling her might ruin the friendship we’ve built the past year?  M: Surely you believe you’re stronger than that?  In the last scene, Riley’s sitting dry in the dunk tank seat when Maya approaches.  R: Peaches! I’ve been thinking about you all day, I’m sorry I- Maya pushes the button with her hand and it sends Riley into the water below. The brunette springs up from the water coughing. 
[Riley still in the water clings to the bars to talk to Maya]  R: Did Lucas find you? [she smiles innocently]  M: You can’t give away my first kiss. R: I’m sorry-  M: You can’t give it away and neither can I.  R: So you didn’t kiss Lucas? Or anyone? M: No but the thought that Huckleberry might actually kiss me made me realise that maybe I don’t want just anyone to be my first kiss.  [Riley’s face lights up like she’s on the verge of a happy ‘yay’ but Maya stops her]  M: I’m not saying it will be like when everything glows and there’s a rainbow but it will be when I’m ready and with someone I want.
Then there is a cute last scene of Smarkle together. Isadora smugly says her hypothesis was correct and Farkle acted just as she predicted. 
5.04 Girl Meets Homecoming
Homecoming is approaching and Lucas is planning on making a big deal about asking Riley to the dance where he has full intentions of revealing his feelings to her. Whilst Lucas is hyped up about this, Zay however keeps questioning if this is the right move. (Hinting that Maya shared Riley’s ‘I just want to be friends speech with Zay back in 5.01)
Z: Lets just hypothetically say Riley only wants to be friends... Wont telling her how you feel make things weird?  L: I told you Zay, I’m tired of ignoring how I feel because I’m scared it won't work out the way I want it to. I have to own my feelings for once, so I’m going to tell Riley that I never stopped liking her.  Z: But you’ve been friends for so long, so what if that changes everything? L: Are we talking about me and Riley still or you and Maya? Z: I have no idea what you are talking about.. So how are you going to ask her? L: No flowers, no balloons, no Yogi on roller-skates. *Yogi pops up out of nowhere looking disappointed* Y: Awww L: Sorry Yogi, I have to go bigger than that. 
As Lucas and Zay enter the history class they overhear Riley politely rejecting a boys invitation to the dance as she was already going with someone. Lucas gives Zay a confused and slightly panicked look about Riley already having a date to the dance.   -
Later at the dance Riley finds Lucas and questions if she’s done something wrong since he’s been weird for a few days now. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucas stops dancing too and gives a big speech about how he’s owning his own feelings and he’s done waiting. 
L: I held onto how I felt during the whole triangle because I didn’t want to hurt anyone. It’s my turn to say how I feel. I really like you, Riley, I always have.  R: But we broke up? L: And I’ve been asking myself why everyday since.  R: But we’re friends? L: And I truly hope we always are but like I said, I’m owning my feelings. If you don’t feel the same way I’ll understand. 
Lucas leaves a stunned Riley alone to process her feelings. Farkle approaches Riley who’s left standing in the same spot she was with Lucas. 
F: He told you?  R: You knew? F: Everyone knew. R: I didn’t! F: *Gives her an unconvinced look*  R: Maybe I knew... I don’t know.  F: The real question is do you feel the same towards him? R: I don’t know. F: I don’t believe you. You know. R: No I don’t! For the first time in forever I thought I did know. I thought Lucas and I could be friends... F: I can’t believe I’m the one saying this but you need to stop using your brain so much and listen to your heart... How do you feel about Lucas?
Tumblr media
With an unwavering smile and her eyes still locked on Lucas, Riley walks across the room. Lucas meets Riley in the middle of the dance floor and before any words could be exchanged Riley meets his lips with a kiss.
When the pair seperate they’re both wearing blissful smiles. 
L: Hi R: Hey L: Hi 
[GiGgLeS!!!!!!!!!!!]
Off to the side the rest of the clique six watch the reconnecting of their friends. Zay looks at the couple and then to Maya with a almost sheepish smile. [I’d like to think his look communicates that Zay thinks if Lucas can go after what he wants and it works out okay maybe he can too].
5.05 The Lawrences
With thanksgiving approaching and a big extended Matthews family festivity planned, Riley questions why they’re so distant from the Lawrence side of the family. A parent trap style plan to get Topanga to reconnect with her estranged parents backfires and sees Riley in her mothers bad books. 
Riley learns of the messiness with her grandparents divorce and how them falling out of love effected Topanga. She also learns that Topanga choosing to live close to Cory as a teenager rather than move away with her parents is something that deeply hurt Jed and Rhiannon. 
With all the tense moments there are some quirky past Topanga moments shared too. Eventually, the tension is somewhat resolved and Topanga is open to letting both her parents back into her life again. 
5.06 Girl Meets World of Terror 5
On the subway Riley and Maya meet a woman who claims to know the future and makes a series of predictions. She shares minor things like seeing certain colours and numbers but also makes a more troubling prediction for halloween night. Everyone thinks Riley is crazy for believing the woman but when her predictions start to come true the group is left shaken and weary of what was to come.
The end of the episode reveals Riley had enlisted the help of her father and neighbour (the psychic on the subway) to pull off this elaborate prank on her friends to give them a most frightful halloween.
5.07 Girl Meets Cousin 
Eric comes to town and announces to his family he is fostering an eight year old boy, Tyler. When Riley meets Tyler, he appears to be very sweet but when the adults leave for dinner and Riley is left home to babysit, it becomes evident the the boy is an absolute terror with the way he behaves for her and Auggie.
At dinner Eric reveals to Cory and Topanga he wants to adopt the young boy. Meanwhile, Riley calls for backup and Maya comes over to try help wrangle the mischievous kid. They then learn that Tyler doesn’t want to be adopted. After some light pushing the girls discover that Tyler’s reluctancy spurs from him missing his mom and dad [whom has both passed away a year prior]. 
The girls then sit down with him and have a meaningful chat about how being a part of a new family doesn’t erase his old one. 
The episode ends with the previously trashed house [from Tyler] now in perfect condition. Eric asks if they had fun and Riley laughs nervously. “So much.” Tyler then runs up to Eric and gives him a hug. The last scene is them walking out of the Matthews apartment together.
5.08 Girl Meets Talent
Abigail Adams High is hosting it’s annual talent show and Riley begins to question what she’s good at. Maya has art, Isadora and Farkle have their brains and passion for science, Lucas has his sports excellence and Zay - whilst also good at sports - has his love for dance too. As the episode unfolds Riley tries - and fails - at each of her friends talents whilst also trying out the background classmates talents. Funny things scenes of Riley failing at everything like plate spinning, violin, ballon animals etc. all attempts ended in something breaking and a shriek-y/frown-y face from Riley. 
At the end of the episode Riley is in her room with her friends and she’s very dramatically ranting about being celery. They each try to offer up a nicety and Riley shuts them down. 
R: Being a good person isn’t a talent, it should be the basic human default! - R: It’s easy for you all to say having a talent doesn’t matter! Look at you all- *Riley unlocks her phone and scrolls through her photos, showing pictures of Lucas and Zay playing baseball, Zay dancing, Maya painting etc. Really artsy and good photo captures*  M: Riles... *Maya looks to her with a knowing smile* R: What? M: I think you found your talent.  R: I just took these for fun... L: I don’t play sports because I’m good at them. I do it because I have fun.  *Everyone backs up Lucas’ statement*  R: So I don’t have to be talented at something to enjoy it?  M: Do you enjoy painting purple cats? R: Very much so.  M: Then paint purple cats and dance - maybe not so close to other people - [referring to a scene earlier in the episode when Riley knocked over Zay’s entire dance class with one pirouette] take photos and not because you’re good at it - which you are - but because you enjoy doing it.
In the last scene Riley is now alone in her room, she walks over to her desk and picks up the camera Shawn gave her back in season one and turns it over in her hands, a sweet look rests on her face as she presses her eye to the view finder.
5.09 Girl Meets Tradition
Christmas Time yet again! This year the clique six along with Cory, Topanga, Auggie and Ava are all snowed in at the bakery on Christmas Eve! At first the children (excluding Riley) are all complaining about being trapped there. Riley looks at things positively and says they have a warm place to stay, food to eat and they have each other for company.
Everyone is upset about missing the holidays with their own families so they lash out at Riley for being happy about it. Something along the lines of, “Easy for you to say, Riley your family is in here with us.” Riley chooses not to be hurt over this. Instead she takes a seat and explains one of her favourite Christmas traditions. Something that she’s missing out on because they’re stuck inside the bakery. Everyone feels guilty for being so snappy so they all gather together and share a Christmas tradition from their own family told in snippets using the characters child doubles.
They ask Cory and Topanga about their traditions. They share a cute retelling of their first christmas spent together as a couple and how they clashed with everything and then when the evening winds down Cory takes a book from the shelf and reads everyone 'A Christmas Carol’. Not far into it the story everyone is asleep including Topanga with her head on her husbands shoulder - this mirrors how the Matthews family (of boy meets world) and Topanga and Shawn would fall asleep as soon as Mr. Feeny began reading.
“Just like when we were kids.” Cory says with a grin as he closes the book and smiles at the sleepy group.
Flash to the next morning and the blizzard has cleared. The sun beams through the bakery windows and wakes the stranded group. Cory announces that the blizzard has cleared and everyone will make it home for Christmas morning with their family.
5.10 Girl Meets Return of the Games Night
It’s return of the games night but instead of friends vs. family it’s boyfriend vs. best friend as Lucas and Maya fight for Riley’s time. Similarly structured to the first games night episode, you see scenes from the present games night underway where there is an evident tension between Lucas, Maya and Riley and then flashbacks to earlier in the day at school where a fight was unfolding about how Riley would spend her Friday night. Lucas wanted to go to the movies with Riley but Maya wanted Riley to sleep over at her house.
Tumblr media
At the beginning of the games night Maya and Lucas fight over who gets to be Riley’s partner before Topanga says she’s being Riley’s partner and no one argues with Topy. Cory and Auggie pair off and Ava declared herself hostess with the mostest so that leaves Maya and Lucas with no other choice than to be partners.
As the game progresses certain questions prove as argument starters for Maya and Lucas as they both continue to argue why each of them is more entitled to Riley’s time.
M: I’m her best friend, what kind of a friend would she be if she ditched me for a Huckleberry? L: But I’m her boyfriend, how long do I have to be a background character before I’m allowed to be important to her?
Finally Riley reaches her boiling point and shoots up with a frustrated groan. R: Can you both just stop? Please?
Everyone looks at her with stunned faces for her outburst. Cory, Topanga, Auggie and Ava leave the room and quickly.
R: Maya I love you, you’re my best friend and I would never ever forget you because of a boy. Maya turns to Lucas with taunting smirk and the Texan’s face drops.
R: But last year we also talked about letting other people into our little bubble, you have to understand that I’m going to start prioritising other people too. Especially Lucas.
Maya’s gloaty behaviour softens to a more sheepish one. R: And Lucas you are important to me already, you’ve always been important to me, it honestly hurts me to think that you question that.
Maya and Lucas both mumble quiet ‘I’m sorries’.
M: I guess we can learn to share you.
R: You’re not understanding the point. I’m not a toy, you can’t share my time out amongst yourselves, it’s my time, to be spent however I choose. I feel like I’m in a whole new triangle and honestly I don’t know which one is worse. If you think I’m going to choose between my best friend and my boyfriend then you’re going to be waiting forever. I won’t choose between you two.
L: You’re completely right. It’s just hard because we both want to spend time with you.
R: Hello? We’ve been together all day but we’ve hardly spoken because you’ve been too busy fighting each other. Look guys, sometimes we’re going to go on dates and sometimes we’re going have sleepovers and sometimes we’re going to hang out in a group.
Once the present tension in settled with a group hug the last scene is a flashback to how the games night came about (Much like the first games night episode). Riley is in the hall as Lucas and Maya childishly bicker about Riley’s plans when she finally blurts out that she can’t do what either of them want because it’s family games night. The two invite themselves and walk off in opposite directions.
Riley - now standing alone - calls out after them
Tumblr media
5.11 Girl Meets Dear Jexica
Riley discovers that her old profile for Jexica has been hacked and turned into a gossip page for AA high, with many hateful and nasty posts about other students all beginning with ‘Dear Jexica’. Not wanting her braver alter ego to be used for such negativity, Riley and Maya set on a mission to claim Jexica back. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Riley goes to school in her full Jexica get up and stands on a table in the cafeteria and declares ‘I am Jexica’. Riley then takes her wig off and gives a speech about why she created Jexica in the first place, she was a beacon of love and positivity, she was not meant to be hateful. 
[This speech reveals to the audience that Riley has grown a great deal since her insecure days in the previous seasons and that her self-love message (along with all round love and kindness) was one she extended to herself first]
Later...
Tumblr media
R: Look Maya, they listened to Jexica.  M: No Riles, they listened to you.
5.12 Girl Meets Sir 
The episode opens with the very happy clique six joking around at Topanga’s. Everyone is making plans for the upcoming weekend and Lucas says he can’t because his father will be coming home from his business trip.  
Maya begins to playfully press for details about the elusive Mr. Friar as none of the friends apart from Zay have met him. Lucas brushes it off like it’s no big deal and gets up to get another juice. Maya turns to Riley and directs her playful questioning to the brunette.
M: Don’t you think it’s weird that we know so little about Lucas’ family? R: We know plenty about Lucas’ family. His mom the nurse, her twin brother - Lucas’ uncle - his aunt and twin cousins on that side, Pappy Joe- [Riley showing how well she knows Lucas/ how much they talk but also a way to give the audience some long overdue insight into Lucas’ backstory] M: Fine, you know a lot about Lucas’ family but what about Mr. Friar? R: He used to be in the military and now he travels a lot for work. M: What kind of work? [Maya playfully raises a brow] R: Marketing [Riley laughs because this is a playful exchange not a serious inquisition] M: Maybe Mr. Friar is a secret agent and he’s always out of town on missions.  Z: He’s a marketing manager [Zay gives her a funny look] he works with my dad [his tone is almost defensive and ultimately amusing to listen to] M: Sounds like the perfect cover for a couple of secret agents. [Maya gives him a playful eyebrow wriggle] They’re all lightly laughing when Lucas’ mother enters the bakery in her nurse uniform. [This would be the first time we’ve ever seen her on screen] Riley greets the woman as Mrs. Friar [indicating to the audience that they’ve met before]. Cassidy - Lucas’ mom - gives Riley a warm smile and Zay a loving shoulder squeeze [to show the audience that they have a family like bond]
Lucas returns to the group and is surprised to see his mom. Cassidy explains that Lucas’ father is home early from his work trip and Lucas has to come home for dinner.
M: They have to debrief about the secret mission [Maya taps her nose after Lucas leaves with his mom and the group of friends just laugh and roll their eyes]
The next morning at school, Riley asks Lucas how dinner with his dad was and Lucas is upbeat as ever. Riley starts to sway sheepishly and she wears a goofy smile. As per usual her smile proves to be contagious when it comes to Lucas. L: Something on your mind? R: Is your dad a secret agent? L: [chokes on a laugh] what? R: Is that why I haven’t met him? L: You want to meet my dad? R: Yes [Riley shrugs lightly] You’ve quite literally met my entire family and I’ve only met your mom.  [Lucas frowns]  R: Do you think your dad won't like me or something? L: No that’s impossible, everybody loves you. R: Then what is it? [Riley isn’t pushy, she’s soft and gentle with her approach] L: Honestly...[Looks like he’s been backed into a corner] I don’t think you’d like my father very much. R: Now that’s impossible, I like everybody! L: He’s a very tough love kind of father.  R: [Tries to make a serious face but just looks adorable] You don't think I can handle tough love? L: [Trying not to laugh at her serious face but then he drops to an actual serious face of his own] Do you really want to meet him?  R: I want to know everything about you [Riley smiles so sweetly] L: [Lucas’ almost worried expression curls into a soft smile and he nods] Come over for dinner tonight? R: Are you sure?  L: Yeah, I am.
That evening Riley joins the Friar’s for an awkward family dinner. Riley sees first hand what Lucas meant when he said his father is a tough love kind of man. The very nervous brunette tries to make conversation but each time she rambled on about something, Lucas’ father would turn it into a ‘teachable moment for Lucas’. When Riley makes small talk about their history project, James Friar near berates Lucas over his last report card - which he scored no lower than a B+ on - And when Cassidy tries to lighten the mood by saying Riley is Lucas’ biggest cheerleader at his baseball games, Riley rambles how she’s figuratively a cheerleader and not literally because they banned her from tryouts after she caused six injuries her freshman year, James rather harshly critiques Lucas’ form in baseball practice from earlier that afternoon. 
[Lucas’s father is very sharp and firm with his demeanour. It’s also evident that Lucas mostly resembles his mother with the blonde hair and green eyes]
Towards the end of the meal, James makes a comment that clearly hurts Riley’s feelings. Lucas sticks up for her and a small argument unfolds. Riley tries to say she’s fine and not to worry about it. 
James: I think you best be going, Riley.  L: Yeah, I’ll walk you home [Lucas is clearly annoyed at his father]  James: No Lucas I think we need to have a chat.  R: I can go by myself it’s fine.  Cassidy offers to take Riley home instead and Lucas has to stay home as his father ordered. A bigger argument unfolds. 
James: I’ve been wondering why your grades have dropped and I think I have my answer.  L: Riley has nothing to do with my grades, if anything she’s the only reason I’m actually passing.  James: Once you secure yourself a college scholarship there will be plenty of time for girlfriends.  L: What are you talking about? [Lucas looks disgusted] You want me to break up with Riley? James: She’s a sweet girl, Lucas but she's a distraction. The world is full of sweet girls and there will be time for them later.  L: Riley isn’t just a sweet girl, she’s the best person I’ve ever met. She’s dramatic and over the top and amazing and I’m not going to break up with her. James: It’s just a teenage crush, you’ll be over her in a few weeks.  L: It’s not just a crush [Lucas pauses] I love Riley.  [at this point I imagine the whole audience either AWWW’d or choked on their giddiness at the first confirmation of LoVe for rucas] L: I’ve spent so long trying to prove to you that I’m a good person, that I can be the perfect son and then I met Riley and she’s spent years showing me that I already was a good person the whole time. She makes me better and if you can’t see that Sir. then I’m sorry. 
After an ad break we return to see Riley sitting in her room with a troubled expression. Lucas then climbs through the bay window. The two sit together. 
R: I’m sorry I caused a fight between you and your dad.  L: You have nothing to apologise for. I’m the one that’s sorry.  R: Your dad doesn't like me very much, does he? L: I don’t care for Sir’s opinion much anymore. R: But he’s your dad... L: Do you know he was the first person to call me a failure after I fell of Judy the sheep? R: You were only six [Riley’s frown deepens]  L: I spent years misbehaving after that just to get back at him. Then I got kicked out of school, started a new one and then decided I wanted to be a veterinarian. Do you know what he said when I told him? R: I’m proud of you son? [Riley looks hopeful] L: No he said, ‘Not with an attitude like yours’. R: ‘Failure is a weak mans game...’ [Riley frowns as she quotes something Lucas said to her back in 5.03] Those are his words not yours... You don’t see yourself the way I do because of your dad? L: [Lucas shrugs weakly] He’s not a bad father he’s just not the kind of dad to hug you if you’re having a bad day... He’s the kind of dad that tells you to make tomorrow better.  R: [Riley wraps her arms around Lucas’ shoulders to hug him] You having a bad day?  L: [Smiles sweetly] I’m actually not doing too bad right now.  Both their gazes lift when Riley’s door opens. Cory is standing behind James.  L: Sir. I know you told me to stay home- James stops Lucas and apologises for being so hard on him. James explains that all he wants for Lucas is the best and maybe he went about ‘supporting’ him in the wrong way.  James: I am proud of you Lucas, I just want you to be happy son and if I’ve ever made you doubt that then I sincerely apologise.  L: Thanks Sir.  James: It’s dad, call me dad. L: Okay dad. R: [Riley whom had been off to the side with her own father watching on with a smile raises her hand] Can we all hug now? Lucas looks to his dad and gives him quizzical look. James: Okay, I’ll allow. R: Yay! [She joins a group hug between father and son] James: You picked a good one, Lucas. L: I know. 
5.13 Girl Meets Greatest Hits
The 100th episode of Girl Meets World is a special one. Topanga is devastated after a box of old home movies is destroyed by a burst water pipe. Cory enlists the help of his best friend, brother [Eric] and two children to help recreate and refilm some of the lost tapes, making for some comedic scenes as the grown people are acting some of their childhood memories. For fun Riley extends the idea to her friend circle and the clique six recreate some of their greatest hits and in the process they each realise they might have remembered certain things differently. [Not a flashback episode but a recreation episode]
Whilst recreating Riley and Lucas’ first date a strange twist of fate sees Maya receiving her first kiss with Zay. 
5.14 Girl Meets Crushed
The three girls of the clique six are at the bakery trying to get to the bottom of Maya’s feelings towards Zay when Auggie begins choking. Smackle jumps in to save the day and then finds herself as the object of Auggie’s new crush and he goes on to shower her with gifts and attention. Unsure how to handle such a situation, Isadora looks to Riley, Maya and Farkle for help. 
Present in this episode is Josh Matthews [he was at the bakery when Smackle saved Auggie].
Tumblr media
Comedic scenes throughout the episode include Auggie being rude-ish to Farkle as he pursues Isadora and Farkle being defensive over his relationship with Smackle. Also scenes of a Ava trying to flirt with Farkle in an attempt to make Auggie jealous play out. 
At the end of the episode Auggie’s feelings are hurt when Smackle kindly but bluntly has to reject Auggie’s advances once and for all. It’s then Maya who gives him comfort. She explains that she knows what it’s like to crush on someone that’s older than you and doesn’t feel the same way. Josh of course is present and hears this. 
After Maya’s chat with Auggie, Josh approaches the blonde for a chat of his own. 
Tumblr media
[We’re left wondering... Is that a sad smile Joshua?? Are you sad because you’ve hurt Maya the way Auggie was hurt, or because she’s ‘over’ you???]
5.15 Girl Meets Love
This episode is a story... or two or three or four, about love. 
It begins when Riley comes downstairs for school and she’s wearing Lucas’ jean jacket [which he gave to her off camera the day before] Cory reacts in a very dramatic way thus sparking a very dramatic reaction from Riley. 
Tumblr media
R: I’ve heard the story of the jean jacket a hundred times but how did you know you loved mom at fourteen? I’m seventeen and I’m not even sure I’m ready... C: I didn’t love your mom until our wedding night and then we got arrested so let that be a lesson to you! R: Dad, please? C: [Still looks like this is the most painful conversation of his life but he softens and answers his worried looking daughter] I loved your mother before I even knew what love was... R: That helps me... with nothing at all, thanks a lot. [Riley exits the apartment with a dramatic huff]
[Next scene, Riley has gone to Maya’s before school]
Tumblr media
M: Let’s say the cowboy loves you, do you love him too? R: I think so. M: You think? R: I mean, I’ve always loved Lucas but how do I know that I love him more than the friend kind of love him that I have this whole time? How do I know I’m in love? M: How am I supposed to know? R: You’re world smart. M: I’ve never been in love [Maya frowns, her expression is important since we know she’s been struggling to understand her feelings for Zay] R: Please help. M: Fine... Are your feelings different for Lucas than they are for say, Farkle? R: Yes. M: Different how? R: Different like I want to hold Lucas’ hand.  M: Yeah we’re going to need a little more than my help...
The episode then consists of Riley - accompanied by Maya - going around and asking everyone she knows about love. Some from whilst she’s at school, others from after school but everyones stories are all layered on top of each other in fragments as they each describe what love is to them. Riley listens to Shawn talk about falling in love with Angela and falling in love with Katy. Riley listens to Katy talk about falling in love with Maya’s father and falling in love with Shawn - giving a little more insight into her past with Kermit. Riley listens to Isadora and Farkle explain their version of a love story [although you heard most of their struggles to comprehend love in my 4.09 episode]. Riley also speaks to Eric and he talks about his unrequited love with Rachel. Riley talks to Josh and he looks uncomfortable as he tells Riley [and Maya] what falling in love with his girlfriend was like. Riley even asks Zay if he loved Vanessa and he also awkwardly explains in front of Maya his idea of love and what he felt for Vanessa. 
Tumblr media
After Zay is finished explaining love to Riley, she huffs and says she’s going to go home. Maya hangs back to chat with Zay. Finally they talk about their kiss and what it meant to them. The two very nervous looking teens seem to both be relieved when they finally admit they felt nothing more for each other than a friendship. 
M: I’m still really glad you were my first kiss. You’ve been a really great friend to me the past two years and I love you.  Z: Aww, all this talk of love has made you mushy.  M: Call me mushy again and I’ll pour a smoothie on your head! Z: Pretty, funny and kind of mean... You’re exactly my type, why is it I only like you as a friend? [Joking smile] M: [Maya rolls her eyes with a smile]
Riley returns home late to find her mother on the sofa reading a magazine. With a sigh of relief Riley goes over to her.
Tumblr media
T: Hey honey, [Topanga opens her arms up for a hug and Riley crawls in at her mothers side] your father told me about the jean jacket this morning. Katy and Shawn said you’ve been asking everyone about love. Did you find the answer you were looking for?  R: No.Everyone gave me a different definition of love and I think I’m more confused than ever. T: [Topanga rubs Riley’s arm] Honey, everyone gave you a different answer because love is different for everyone. R: But daddy explained what love was to you and that helped you understand. Why didn’t it work for me? T: I already knew I loved your father I was just afraid to admit it at the time.  R: What changed your mind? What made you not be afraid anymore? T: I realised that part of being in love was being scared, scared of losing something so important to me.  R: So being in love is supposed to be scary all the time? T: Not exactly... R: Then what is it, mom? T: Honey, I promise you that you’ll work that out for yourself. When you know, you know.
Tumblr media
[Up in Riley’s room Lucas sits patiently in the bay window] 
R: Hi... [Riley says nervously from the doorway]  L: Hey [Lucas nudges his head towards the seat and Riley sits by him] You were a little weird at school today, it felt like you were avoiding me...  R: [She over dramatises acting ‘cool’] I wasn’t weird today! 
[Flashback to class]
Tumblr media
[back to Riley and Lucas in the bay window] 
R: Okay maybe I was a little weird but I’m always a little weird. If I’m ever normal then you should worry. L: Is this because I gave you jacket?  R: Maybe a little. I didn’t think it was a big deal until I spoke to my dad. You know the story right? L: Yes.  R: And you gave me your jacket? L: Yes.  R: And you know the jacket is a symbol of the first time my parents said [Riley nudges her head and avoids saying the words]  L: I know but that’s not why I gave you my jacket.  R: It’s not? L: No. I mean I do love you, Riley... [he pauses for a second to smile and let that sink in] ...but I wasn’t trying to recreate your parents moment, I was trying to give you a heads up before I made my own. R: [Riley still reeling from Lucas actually saying it] A heads up? L: I’ve been dropping hints all week.  R: You have? [Riley looks confused]  L: Yes, on Tuesday you asked me if I wanted to come over for dinner and I said, ‘Yes I would love to.’ [Lucas wears a proud grin] R: [Riley can't help but laugh at the dork] Of course, it was right in front of me this whole time.  L: The hints were obviously a little too subtle [Lucas chuckles] that’s why I pushed it with the jacket, I’m sorry if I freaked you out, that was exactly what I was trying to avoid.  R: You were trying to give me a warning before you said... that? L: I know sometimes you’re afraid of your feelings... now I feel like I should have just come and talk to you in the first place... R: [Riley gets up and nervously paces, she stops in the middle of the room]  I don’t know if I’m ready to say it back. L: That’s absolutely fine, I told you at homecoming I was okay if you didn’t feel the same back. R: I’m not saying I don’t want to say it. I’m just saying I’m not sure I’m ready. L: I can wait. [Lucas smiles and gets up to leave but stops before exiting the window] Oh, did you get the surprise I left you in the pocket of my jacket?  R: [Gives him a confused look and reaches into the pocket of the jacket and pulls out a handful of silver confetti] Was this supposed to be another hint? L: No, that was just cause I know you like to carry around glitter in your pockets. R: [Riley smiles at the confetti in her hand before looking up to her boyfriend] Lucas?  L: Yeah? R: I love you too.  L: [wears his Riley smile!! You all know the one!!] I was always hoping you did.
After Lucas exits, Riley throws the confetti in the air and twirls around under it as it falls. She hugs his jacket to her chest with a smile. Much like Topanga did after her first I love you with Cory.
Tumblr media
E N D  O F  S E A S O N  5
End Notes: Firstly another 15 episode season because 22 is way too long for me to write. This took me HOURS AND HOURS OVER 3 WEEKS!! 
Secondly, love is in the air this season and that powerful four letter word is exactly the theme. There were lessons about all kinds of love, romantic, platonic, unrequited, self-love, tough love and more. 
You see Riley and Lucas fall back together and come out stronger than ever.  You see Maya and Zay struggling to work out what exactly it was they felt for each other... And in the end they knew it’s love just of a different kind.  You see how Topanga’s parents falling out of love effected her.  You see Auggie’s lovey dovey crush be one sided. You see Tyler [Riley’s new cousin] learning about loving new family.  You see Riley preach a love and positivity message through her Jexica profile. You see a tough love household and very importantly you see Lucas learning to love himself.  And then of course there is the girl of girl meets world and this season showed her growth and journey of platonic love, self-love and dare I say true love.
I know a lot of these episodes were Rucas centric and that’s off brand for GMW but I truly think a season of love was coming. In girl meets sweet sixteen you literally see Riley question how she prioritises her relationships and it was only a matter of time before hers with Lucas strengthened. 
In my sixth and final season for Girl Meets World, the clique six embark on their senior year where - whether they like it or not - change is upon them.
Stay tuned x

I love all your vids analysing mlp!! A thing I've been thinking about while watching the earlier seasons is how much the characters and the show formula has evolved. Any thoughts on that?
oh yA YA I GOT LOTS O THOUGHTS ON THAT!!
thesis: both versions of the show have it’s strengths but ultimately season 8 is built for a different audience than season 1 was originally built for
my personal feelings on this vary as my little pony, as a whole, ignoring the context that it exists in, my little pony is an evolving show, where it’s genre evolves with the age and roles of it’s protagonists which is really exciting !!! the only other story that comes to mind when thinking about this is adventure time and then probably harry potter, i’m sure there are more out there.
but my little pony is special because it wasn’t always intended this way. and while part of me is like, it’s very cool i like the idea of a story that can blossom from humble beginnings and into a full fledged story with nuance and meaning
the other part is frustrated with the role that fandom played in the ultimate warping of the show.
now i just want to say, “pandering” or “fanservice” in these cases at least, it’s not necessarily a bad thing and it’s not always a bad thingbut it does feel like… bringing in an outside element when trying to conduct an experiment.the experiment is now contaminated and we’ll never know where the show would have ended up without that outside influence and there’s a bit of a sadness in losing the trail we could have gone down.
ok with that said
there is no stronger season (there are weaker seasons, im looking at u s4), but season 1 isn’t inherently better or vice versa, because they aren’t really comparable.season 8 is no longer the same show subscribing to the same “laws” that season 1 abides byhow can we compare the friendship lessons, when we’re learning different lessons completely? 
it’s why i like to describe the show as a spectrum that goes from dealing with close interpersonal relationships, broadening all the way out to how your actions reflect into the society around you- while also broadening the types of characters you might interact with. (which is why i believe the later seasons especially season 8, are SO interested in mental illness and how it functions against other characters) 
which is really interesting because! … well, you know i’ll use myself as an example and if you relate to this well then you’ll see what i mean
now i got into MLP because it was cute, the songs were nice and the art was incredible. but there was something so calming about having the moral laid out simply for you at the end of the episode. and not only that but these morals also dealt with relatable issues, you know, disagreements with friends, having more good things than can go around, etc. etc. 
and i personally became drawn to this as a sort of guide to life. the MLP universe is soft and inviting and if i can take these lessons to heart, maybe i can make MY world soft and inviting too. 
so now you’ve got a bit of a fandom who are consuming this media in hopes that it will teach you something new about dealing with that unsavoury world outside your door. and while the show flounders a bit with it’s new found audience (IM LOOKING AT U SEASON 4) 
by the time starlight comes in, this new form of the show now has a true audience surrogate and now the show has taken a decisive turn into where it wants to be. show morals become a little more grey, we around recounting old lessons but from different points of view, we’re broadening the scope in which to look at the show. 
we are moving from internal relationships to external relationships as it grows with the needs of the audience. 
i think it’s interesting how we start watching the show thru twilight’s eyes, she’s the main character and we relate to her and as we go thru the seasons we grow up with her, but the show is gentle with us at this stage, we are still so youngso when starlight comes in, we now have to be aware of our faults and the impact we have on others, this character we looked up to, twilight, has now become a literal teacherguiding us through our everyday as we struggle to overcome our past mistakes and move into a new generation
and the best part about this is that they approach it from the point of view of, well, what if you have something that can really hold you backwhether it’s where your from or how your brain is wired, they don’t try and tell you that YOUR the problem, they simply try and install you with the tools to cope and the knowledge to prepare you for the future. 
they are aware that the audience watching right now FEEL like they are the villain. whether it’s because your one of those fans, or whether it’s because you live in a place where you can’t be yourselfthey take that idea and they tell you, it’s okay if you think you are bad. we know that all it takes is a friend to change things for the better. 
this is quite a ramble so i’ll wrap it up here but;the early seasons of my little pony are so SO important, it’s a formula that i think works extremely well, it’s accessible for almost all audiences and i truly want to push the idea of making children’s (and even adult’s) television way more educational than they currently are.
it’s sad that the show doesn’t subscribe to this formula anymore, but in abandoning the formula they allowed for the story to grow and change outside of it’s assigned box and that’s something to really celebrate! art is about it’s evolution through the years and my little pony is a fantastic example of that and it’s impact on people. 
i’m excited to move into this era of long form story driven animation but i’d be lying if i said i didn’t hope that someone out there is still working to forge a new kind of story experience based on the formula of bottled episodes. 
edit: also i will be uploading a new video soon i wanna get one or two done before i move and then after that i wanna do them weekly once we’re settled

@wildfire607​ said: I love your content for the game! I have my notifications on for you. Much love from Texas. ♥️
omggg thank you!!!! literally I don’t feel like people would have notifications on for me ;n; again, thank you so much <3
@standardheld said: Hey there! I know you don’t take requests so take it as an idea. Maybe you’ll like it. Otherwise, please don’t feel forced to do anything! So here’s the idea: I haven’t fount an adult’s version of you YeoJin hairs with big pigtails. Remember Cassandra Goth from The Sims 2? It think it would look beautiful and I know you’ve got the necessary talent. If you like the idea, please let me know :)        
Hello!!! Lmao I am kinda swamped rn to start ‘new’ things BUTBUTBUT I don’t mind if somebody uses my conversion meshes like YeoJin Hair since all it is is a conversion. So if u wanna do it or wanna ask some other people, feel free!! <3   
@pxelsquid​ said: The WIP hair in your play list post is so beautiful! I can’t wait for it!
Thanks! Planning to get it out in the next week or so
Anonymous said: What do you use donations for?
(answer in bold) lmao I actually don’t get many, at least not enough for them to go towards anything. But I do get a few dollars every couple of months (and that still makes me super happy to see ty to anyone who has donated ever UwU) lmao so I don’t really know what the donations go towards though I guess packs?? which rn I prob wouldn’t buy a pack w/donation money bc irl stufffff but I would think donations on a sims account should go to more sims stuff if you don’t need to money for personal life situations :)

Anonymous said: which recolor palettes do you recommend for hairs? I like the EA colors but I would like to try some others.. especially after seeing the hair color you put on your sim with the jennie hair in your latest post
Obvi I like the anathema palette bc I put my hairs in that, but the saccharine (?) is really really good and there are tons of hairs in that. and the WMS palette is so so so good there are just too many swatches for me to do that palette tbh
Anonymous said: Are you going to make more hairs that are ombre accessory compatible?
Maybe! I am not sure tbh, it depends on the mesh I use and abunch of other factors :)
Anonymous said: Question, I love your Jisoo hair, it’s well done, but the ombre part, what’s the file name and how do you download it? I’m a noob when it comes to this. Sorry to bother you.
file name -> JisooHairOmbreNaturals[AH00B].package

I remember at some point last year you mentioned maybe sharing Briella after you stopped using her, and I haven’t seen her in a while in your posts. Have you considered sharing her or is she just officially retired? She was a very cute sim and is iconic!
Briella wasn’t actually my sim! Her original download post is here

Prob not since it uses different textures/shadows and stuff, it would be the same size and stuff as the normal Joy hair
Anonymous said: Is there any way to download you models? Because I live how they looks and really want to use them.
